craftgrrl | A couple more things by me.

Please forgive me cutting and pasting my marketing text but by the time I get done posting everywhere I get a little lazy. It doesn't include the link to my shop so it should be ok.

Its time for spring and what do we like in the spring? We like bees and butterflies. Bees and butterflies are cool. This is all brass with different finishes. The two butterflies are really old (that would be GENUINE VINTAGE BRASS STAMPINGS in marketing speak) and have oxidized themselves into this coppery finish. Its known as gingerbread brass and there isn't much of this left out there. The bees had the coppery finish applied by humans instead of nature. That's a genuine natural 12mm malachite cabochon because spring is when things start getting green and besides it looks really good there surrounded by all that coppery finish. This all adorns a brass filigree in a gun metal finish suspended by an 18" inch chain with a lobster tail clasp. Hand made, as is all of my stuff, and one of a kind.

This beautiful necklace is made of these very cool green spotted shells with an orange backing interspersed with green pearls. All these are dyed of course. To my knowledge, pearls and shells do not come in bright orange and green. Its approximately 18" in length including the copper toggle clasp at the back
