It was raining all morning and my garden's Calendula blooms are dripping with the welcome rain! This is Rain on Calendulas, a 3 strand necklace of Citrine and Quartz facets, Dendritic Opals rounds, Golden Rutilated Quartz and it's finished with Delica Glass spacer beads and a Silver plated brass flower slide and lock clasp. The shortest strand is 17 1/2 inches long and the longest one is 20 inches long. This could be a "go to" necklace as it's neutral enough to go with most other colors!
