Single-Strand Necklace with Mixed Gemstone Cabochons and Seed Beads
Glittering seed beads are hand-beaded around gemstone cabochons such as carnelian, agate, tigereye, lemon chrysoprase and amethyst to form links in a rainbow spectrum of colors that are linked together with gold-plated jumprings for a glorious necklace that will lead your thoughts somewhere over the rainbow.
