  • One of my favorite pieces =)

    Three strands made up of light peach AB, light rose AB, light amethyst AB Swarovski crystals and sterling silver round beads. You can choose to wear it with the heart shaped dichroic glass clasp being the focal point or the 8mm Swarovski crystal rounds and roundelles. The clasp is sterling silver.
