This exquisite piece is nothing but bling. It is 16" of beautiful Swarovski crystals in topaz blue, black, and silver. The focus of this necklace is a combination of a gorgeous handmade lampwork bead in shades of blue, black, and cream. The camera just can't capture the depth of this bead. It is topped of with a rather large Bali Silver bead. The focal combination is 1 1/2" long. It has a flat smooth Bali toggle. This is truely one of my favorite necklaces and is sure to be one of yours too.

This 16" necklace is strung with Green Line Jasper. The color of these stones were hard to photo, but they are a very earthy blue/green. The focal bead is an abstract handmade lampwork bead capped off with Czech glass and a Czech pressed glass leaf. I have used a very unique clasp for this necklace. It is a J hook with a star and a moon and constructed from gold metal. This is a casual piece that would look great with your favorite stone washed jeans.

This is a very unique 16" necklace made from several types of beads. The long thin beads are intricately hand painted wood beads from Peru. Accenting them are black glass and red Swarovski Crystals. The focus of this necklace is a 1" porcelain bead with a raven who appears to have sighted something interesting. This piece has a smooth vermeil toggle with a twisted inner ring.
