Earth & Sky: Kinship Strand

This is my Earth & Sky collection, inspired by the great plains and representing a kinship with all the creatures of the earth and the elements of the sky. The design is clean & colorful, featuring beads in earthly shades and celestial hues! Some feature a wonderful, cascading waterfall of natural gemstones! These beaded strands range in random lengths of 20-32 inches long and are one of a kind. Varying lengths to layer. An assortment of colors to mix & match. Wear one, wear them all!

Esoteric.
Ethereal.
Exquisite.

I created a total of 4 strands in this color way of yellow/blue/green, with this being the only necklace featuring a gem/stone waterfall cascade. It is designed to easily slip over your head and it looks lovely paired with all of the sunshine & shamrock toned Earth & Sky necklaces!
