First Rhubarb is my beaded version of the wonderful organic Rhubarb coming up with abundance in my garden! The delicate pinks mixed with the varied greens of the plant inspired the choices of Emerald Green Aventurine faceted rondelles, Green Aventurine cut round beads and faceted Rose Quartz. It's finished with Delica Glass spacer beads and a flower shaped silver filled slide and lock clasp. The shortest strand of all Rose Quartz is 17 inches long and the longest strand is 20 inches long.
