Fit for a Queen

posted by SusanClinkscales

I have a love of stones and glass and when I find a piece of glass that looks like a magnificent stone, I’m inspired!  I purchased several of these borosilicate glass cabochons from the Etsy seller vadrian about a year ago.  I immediately began creating a bezel for this piece but never finished it…until now.  I had originally planned for this to have a herringbone beaded chain and be suspended from a peyote tab, but once I found the faceted crystal beads, I knew I had a great combination.  A beaded toggle finishes it off.  Fit for a Queen is listed in my shop.
