Willow Flowers $ 40




This is a result of me experimenting with lampwork beads. Lampwork beads are made of glass with beautiful patterns in them. These are pink ones in barrel shape and have blue and cream frangipani flowers in them. The real thing is paler than illustrated here.

To enhance these colours, I tied big and small white freshwater pearls onto the leather cord with the lampwork beads. These protruding shapes give the necklace a good contour and elegance. Bears resemblance to CNY white Willow flowers! :)

Can be worn both short and long. Personally I like it long with a white-collar working shirt.
