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.

It’s easy to see why that glass/stone caught your eye. And it’s so beautiful in that bezel. Lovely!

Wow! that looks fabulous. I love the way you brought the faceted crystal beads around the bezel. That just sets it off beautifully. I am glad you finally finished it.
