Status: offline 		This necklace is a definite show stopper. It is impossible not to notice! How could you miss a stunning beaded spiral dangling from beautiful Swarovski Crystals and 6 whole Abalone shells?
It is going to be hard to part with this one but it will be up for sale on my website tonight! It is so beautiful that I decided to name it Abalone Heaven.


Abalone Heaven





The beautiful whole Abalone shells



Stunning spiral beaded bead in Abalone colors and huge Swarovski crystals





The piece is finished off with Abalone ovals and a beautiful sterling toggle clasp





I also put together this necklace for a friend for her Mothers day gift.It is swimming in Swarovski crystals and though I tried, no picture can do this necklace justice.
 
Sparkling Abalone











Well, if you love Abalone you have had your fix for today I think!
 
I have the kiln all heated and it's time to go make some fun beads!  Have an awesome day and happy beading!

Status: offline 		Thanks Lisa and Carolyn!  I am excited for the Mother's day necklace to reach it's destination.  The photos do not do it justice, it sparkles plenty!

I do love how the abalone colored spiral so perfectly matches the shells!  When I started making the spiral I had no idea what I would use to hang it from!  I don't think I could have planned it better.
