Here's a commissioned piece I finished this weekend. I don't usually like to work with blue beads (or red, or black, for that matter) because they don't seem to have as much "oompfh" as other colors, but the customer requested it. Also requested was the cross pendant and the extreme length (the adjustable clasp allows the necklace to go from 25" to 29").Materials used were lapis, sterling, several kinds of freshwater pearls, two small boulder opals, cloisonne beads, six shades of Miyuki delica glass beads, shells, and a sterling clasp.
