Sunset On Snow Necklace

By Erica Lynn.

In this piece I was looking for the idea of the lovely soft look of a sunset on the winter snow that makes the snow take on a baby blue color tinged with orangey-red and cream. I found this soft look with several types of vintage beads combined together and finished with ghost crystal glass and gold plated beads and clasp. The gold was the perfect ending touch as an interpretation of the last ray of sunlight as it flares off the snow in a flame of gold.

Details: This necklace is approximately 28 1/8 inches open length. From Rhode Island, USA come the vintage lucite moonglow oval beads, vintage lucite barrel beads and vintage lucite blue rondell beads. The vintage acrylic lucite pearls are from Japan, and the ghost crystal beads are Czech glass. The gold beads and toggle clasp are gold plated. The necklace is strung on 24kt gold plated beading wire.
