Description

I'm thrilled with how this lariat turned out and kept taking it out to look at. I have had these orange seed beads for a couple of years, not sure what to do with them. I eventually combined them with a soft green and the results are stunning.

I loved the combination so much, that I made a matching earrings.

I've matched large soft green chalcedony nuggets with ice-green silver-lined glass, copper freshwater pearls and round Swarovski crystal pearls in green and copper.

The centre bead is a handmade boro lampwork bead by Brendan Blake called Veridian Vapours. The main beads are separated by tiny orange glass beads.
