Victoria II $ 50




A re-make of Victoria posted in Oct 2005. This is something that I am very proud of (again)! I love the colour combination which isn't really reflected very well here. It's all just too dark and only flatters the contour of the necklace. Try to visualise:

1. Rose Quartz centrepiece - a little bit more translucent and pink than pictured on Ms Neck :)

2. Small, round Mother-of-Pearl - what you see is what you get.

3. Deep brown-metallic-dyed Mother-of-Pearl - quite close to the real thing too.

4. Pink-Orangy Botswanna Agate - imagine them to be a little more pinkish, lighter, or in between.

5. This is the thing you can't quite see: Canadian jade! Imagine the colour of authentic Japanese Mocha Glutinous ball (aka mua-chee). Capped with antique-looking spacers.

I tried matching it with my wardrobe and was surprised to find that almost ANY colour goes with it :)
