SUMMER COOL LIKE TINTED ICE

As cool as a blueberry Popsicle, these beads are frosty, like aqua ice. They're sand-blasted, matte finished aquamarine, not cookie cutter matched but certainly smooth and tactile. I love how subtle the surfaces are. I wanted to keep this piece low key and vivid at the same time, playing off texture more than shine, so I didn't put any metal like silver or vermeil with it and kept the crystals away, choosing instead to play up the seaside quality with beautiful, deep blue lapis lazuli rounds.
