  • great photo, wonderful warmth of the resin beads, and nice contrast to the coins!

  • Are these the amber beads from Anna?   I can't imagine how the coins sit when the necklace is hanging.  

  • Yes, lovely beads from Anna! Gorgeous warm shades with lovely markings.

    The silver coins just sit flat on their arms against the chest when worn. The round beads are Mexican sterling.
