SOLD!!! Crow's Sunset is a 3 strand necklace celebrating the pinks and brassy colors as the sun sets and the crows fly through the middle of it! I used coated Black Spinel facets, Lepidolite rounds, Oil Slick Crow minis, Pink Tourmaline and a gold filled slide and lock flower clasp. Purple and lavender Delica Glass spacer beads are used at the ends, and throughout the necklace too. The shortest strand is 18 1/2 inches long and the longest one is 21 inches long.

I love the iridescence of the coated Black Spinel facets and the Crow mini beads. That shimmer plays well off of the matte look of some of the Pink Tourmaline beads.
