Just Peachy -- Five Strands of Peach-Pink Coral to Twist or Not

An on-line purchase netted me with 20 strands of 6mm peach-pink coral beads. What to do with them? Multiple strands, of course. And what a perfect spring-summer color to play with. I made several things out of them including this five-strand necklace. I made each strand the same length so they could be twisted evenly into a narrow torsade. For accent, I threw in some light flesh-toned Swarovski crystals and finished it off with a filigree silver "buckle," a piece that I've had probably for three or four years but never had any inspiration to use. The result is a very versatile piece to wear twisted or not.
