I believe, of the three, this is the one I'll be keeping for myself. :) It's the opposite-matching of the one I did for AdidaTiki (her's won't be posted till later when she gets it) and even though the other option for me to keep is pink rose quartz.... I think this one fits our friendship more, haha.

I purchased the pendant from my friend Sova, yes, that Sova!, via her Etsy here: www.etsy.com/shop/BeadPatterns… She sells lots of pretty supplies through her various venues so do go and support her! She's featured me several times through her bead-patterns.com newsletter and absolutely is the sweetest person :love: so return the joy!

It took me about an hour from start to finish to lay out the bead design and then do the work. The main difference between this and the rose quartz is that I did this one very particularly to what I would want to wear, and less to the point of design flow and material cost. I thought to myself not, "oh if I put a larger bead here it's going to look and feel really nice to wear" but instead, "I really like to play with larger beads, so I'm going to do that". As much as I adore the rose quartz necklace and the miniature roses I worked into my design for it... this one is just so much more mine!

Used "Accu-Flex" 21-strand stainless steal beading wire, silver-colored crimps, and a silver-colored barrel clasp. They're real (as in not manufactured, dyed, or faux) semiprecious stones. The beads are blue lace agate from Africa and mother of pearl. Swarovski crystals accent the piece inbetween, and one agate goes up in the pearls to mimic the mother of pearl at the bottom. The blue lace agate isn't my favorite color (even though I do love pastels) but it matches the opalite perfectly. The opalite is also pretty translucent so when held up to the light it gives off a yellow-orange glow. You can see the glow via instagram: instagram.com/p/oXhH-LugQI/
