Product Description
 
The same two stones as Rose & Moss, here strung in reverse sequence on light pink woven silk. The change in ground colour shifts the atmosphere of the pairing entirely, the pink silk drawing the rose quartz forward and softening the green of the moss agate into the background. 108 beads, the same materials, a different composition.
 
The piece is finished with eight millimetre sterling silver Chinese Fu marker beads and a nine point five millimetre Fu Guru bead.
