The days seem to go by so quickly, and here it is, Creative Spark Friday already!
I loved this week's creative spark! All the elements came together so easily.



A strand of mixed jade is combined with some wire-wrapped
gold and purple glass rondelles,
a purple fluorite bead and a cranberry glass bead.
The metal is antiqued brass.



The necklace is not as dark as photographed.
The close-up below shows the color more accurately.

I finished the necklace with a vintage button and a gold bow of seam binding.
Thanks, Becky!
