Purple and Orange are my favorite combination of colors...they remind me of an Oak Island sunset....
This long necklace (I love making looooonnnggg necklaces!) measures 42 inches long.  In it, I have used the crystals, Charoite (the purple spherical beads), Amethyst, Carnelian, and lemon quartz.  
In this necklace I have actually knotted each bead onto silk bead thread.  I am trying to do that with my newer pieces since they are much more trustworthy than simply hanging them from wire.
