SW White Buffalo

I'm thinkin' about keeping this one myself . . . .

Small White Howlite Buffalo pendant, sterling silver slightly curved tubes, white and turquoise Swarovski Crystals in 3 and 4mm sizes, a couple of silver oxidized spacers, and 6mm hex-cut bronze Japanese bugle beads.

Oh yes, and the delightful size 13/0 silver-plated charlottes! Since seed beads are glass, plating is the best it gets, when it comes to putting metal on them.

It's going to have an extender, as well.

The bronze hex-cut beads are the lighter brown color you see in the photo, depending on the lighting they flash from a darker bronze to the lighter bronze. Some of them scanned oddly, though, as well as darker than they actually are. Looks MUCH nicer in person!

This is such a delicate style of necklace, with a very petite feel to it!

This looks very nice, Sara! It indeed looks very South-Western. I never know what to do with the turquoise-colored Swarovskis... this is a perfect use for them! Lovely!

Thanks Beck! I thought of you when it was done, because it seems so much like one you would wear (which is a good thing!). I didn't know what to do with em either, nor the solid white ones, until this necklace.
