These pieces were made by Geri Colgrove. Here's what she had to say about them:
"I've titled this series, Dance in the Moon Garden. The beautiful mystery focal was cold connected to a decorative metal disk with tabs, a white flower bead, and iridescent beads."
Here's a close up of the focal.
Geri also made matching earrings and a bracelet. Here's what she had to say about them:
"On the bracelet, I used the peach colored shell-like disk as the focal, along with two of the enhanced white beads. On one side I added a brass chain of peach colored rhinestones for sparkle, and on the other a silver chain for balance. The earrings are made with moonstone looking beads and iridescent leaf beads, which is also used on the bracelet. I used a decorative silver toggle. This definitely was a challenge as I do not normally use this color combination. Thank you, Andrew Thornton for this challenge!"
