Paradise Cove

A favorite spot for dinner and a stroll on the beach, only a few minutes drive down a winding canyon road from my little valley takes you to the charming Malibu beach and Paradise Cove. My husband likes to spirit me away there occasionally for a rustically romantic evening. That's where this bracelet and necklace remind me of--it's all romance and very sweet, like his thoughtful little gestures of love, that are pure and simple. Paradise Cove---just a little bit of heaven.

I almost never do matching sets and this didn't really start out that way, but when I finished the bracelet I liked it so well, I decided that the humongous sand dollar I had from Judy needed to be embellished with the same pearl combination. They look nice together or apart...they just happen to have complimenting compenents.

Rickie, Fabulous! I love it! I'm doing something with a Sand Dollar bead right now too, but this is spectacular! Great job!

Thanks Kristen. I'll look forward to seeing your design--I think it is a great shape to work with (well, let's be honest--play with! lol) Have a great week!

I think this might be my favorite of all your ocean-themed designs. And that's saying a lot because I love them all!

Thanks Elizabeth! I really liked it alot too. I like the fact that the colors are close to 'natural' and the elements of the sea with only pearls for embellishment.
