This is on elastic cord but when I get a magnetic clasp I'm going to restring it on regular beading wire. The rose quartz beads are not good quality so it pains me to have them strung with the purple amethyst because those are of good quality. I got those for $18 for a string. And when I first started beading I really didn't get the different between base metal vs sterling silver and a couple of the spacers beads had tarnished so I think the spacers are sterling silver. The focal bead has hearts on it so I'm thinking about using craft wire to see if I can form some head pins with a heart to make earrings.
I fiddled with a variety of beads to get a good combination with the rose quartz, then I realized sometimes it's best to stick with simplicity.
I like the feel of these on my arm even though I don't care for the beads themselves. I think I'm liking smooth, shiny semi-precious stones.
Etsy says do not use a flash when you photograph jewelry so I photographed it in natural light on the coffee table.
Next I'm going to try making a seed bead bracelet.

Very pretty. I obviously don't know the difference. But I like the look of it and surely that's all that counts?
Very pretty, I love it.
