Yummy Coin Pearls

REMEMBER FRIDAY IS THE DEADLINE TO ENTER MY DRAWING FOR AN AMAZONITE BRACELET!!! All you need to do is post a comment on the blog to be entered! I love the color of these coin pearls--opalescent olives and rusty browns shimmer and shine on this knotted silk cord. Tiny round ab crystals cradle each coin pearl with 4mm round pearls sprinkled among the coins. An elegant sterling toggle clasp completes the design.
After a bit of experimenting I decided on two glorious strands, each similar, with just a little difference. The shorter strand is 16" and the longer one is just under 18".

This rich warm color, may make this design my favorite yet...I guess I say that everytime I make something new lately...but there are so many choices that I am like a kid in a candy store and enjoying every moment. Back to work...back to play...
p.s. this layers perfectly with the grossular green garnet and pearl necklace in my etsy store.
Let me know what you're doing today--something that puts on smile on your face!

Love that color of pearl. I never think to buy coin pearls in anything but white, but you may make me change my mind.
