Roxy Necklace in Amethyst (Reboot)

PROJECT N853
Designer: Julie Bean
Skill Level: Intermediate
This sparkling necklace features a striking Austrian crystal Fine Rocks Tube bead as its focal with matching Austrian crystal bicone beads as accents. This is a design that would be lovely to wear on a night out or to dress up a casual outfit.
Reboot: We have updated the components for this classic project with PRESTIGE crystals and a Fine Rocks Tube bead that features metal end caps for a polished look.
