Herring Cove Sunset 2 is a celebration of the beautiful Atlantic Ocean sunsets off the coast of Cape Cod. I was inspired by an amazing photo taken by a good friend of mine while on vacation. I used 3 colors of Cultured Pearls and included some round Sodalite beads also. There are Delica Glass spacer beads and a Silver filled toggle clasp to complete this piece.

The shortest strand with the Blue Iris Pearls is 16 inches long. The longest rust colored Pearls and Sodalite strand is 19 inches long.
