Design by Dwyn Tomlinson
Something pretty, fresh and springy. The inspiration was a strand of yellowy-green pearls, and some cubic zirconia beads that matched. A few crystals to complement and lighten - and the findings in gold vermeil, as I don't find that silver coloured findings do well with this bright "new growth" colour.
The strands of the necklace 16, 18 and 20 inches.
A matching pair of earrings is nice as well.
This set will be donated to the Corsage Project.
