Swarovski Crystal and Lampworked Glass – Topaz

Sparkling Swarovski crystal 4mm and 6mm bicones in topaz, Pacific opal, hyacinth, lime, cobalt and padparadscha, and 10mm rounds in light topaz, create a magical 49.5cm-long necklace with a 17cm “tail” in front.  Lampwork beads in turquoise with a raised pattern of pink roses, blue/white dots and gold-foil ribbons, and in topaz with raised cobalt and white dots, add extra interest.  Antiqued-gold patterned beads, lobster-claw clasp and leaf charm have a subdued gleam.

(I didn’t make this myself, but bought it from a Sydney jewellery designer who moved on to other things.)
