The carnelian beauty on the left is a KISS-KISS
necklace -- a pure example of Keep It Simple, Silly. When you find beads as luminous and as full of inner fire as these special rust-colored carnelians, you really want to show off the quality of the bead and not mess it up with a lot of frou-frou. I used teensy 22k gold pumpkin rounds to
separate a series of carnelians. I've never seen 4mm beads quite this detailed and almost old-fashioned in feeling. Again, these came out of the box of unique beads that my friend Karen sent me from Santa Fe. I am most reluctant to string these, because once they're gone, they're gone. But hey -- isn't that what unique, hand-made pieces are all about? A strand of beads to powerful and special, no one else will ever have them.
Retail Price: $180.00
