The Love of Lavender

I made a pair of earrings with these purple faceted crystal cube beads about 6 months ago and a customer purchased them.

She called me recently to make her a necklace that would match.

Somehow I felt the colors needed the sterling silver bead caps and two Swarovski clear crystals on each side of the center bead.

I then took a 20 inch Italian Figaro sterling silver chain, cut it in half and attached it to the ends on both sides. I also used sterling silver wire protectors on the ends to attach the chain to avoid wear and tear.

These beads actually change colors depending on the lighting. Under fluorescent lights, the beads turn blue. Under normal lighting, the beads are this pretty deep lavender.

I hope you like it.
