SOLD!!! Subtle Sunset is inspired by the Orange Sodalite focal drop and the sweet light orange sunset I saw the other night. I used Orange Sodalite "coins" in the long strand that is 17 3/4 inches and Peach Moonstone and Sunstone in the shorter 17 inch long strand. Delica Glass spacer beads are used throughout Subtle Sunset. The clasp is a Silver filled toggle.

My research has been very interesting, and helped me realize what a powerful necklace Subtle Sunset can be!
