Bead Strands

It's been a few years since I've concocted this style of bead strands and I recently took them up again, it's a nice little task I can put my hands to whenever I have a spare moment or if my baby takes a short nap.  These strands are all about 25-28 inches in length, without clasps, just toss them on over your head.  Easy peasy lemon squeeze.  I've used a combination of old stock carved turquoise crosses, Kingman turquoise briolettes, Afghan turquoise beads and miyuki seed beads in cream, chocolate-red and pea-green.  Earthy and bright. Wear a strand solo or stack them up with other chains and pendants.  The effect is always pleasing. +OF THE WEST+
