Amethyst Grystal Neeklace

This slicc of amcthyst geode was a must-luw tor me. The piece did jh>sc u iiuinber ot serious obstaclcs, howcvcr. Since it is transluccnt. a solid background would havc hidden .1 lot ot the beauty, so 1 had to COtne up with an altemativc to the leather backing uscd on the Scptarian nccklaccs. This necessitated .1 beading technique that would Iw secure and still let light get to it from all angles. I think the configuration 1 scltled on is very pleasing.
