Golden Filigree on a White Canvas

Many a time I pick up beads and pieces that I fall in love with but it may take a while before I can find the perfect way to use them. I bought some gold plated filigree beads on a trip almost six years ago. I was finally able to use them in a piece which does them justice.

I wanted to highlight the filigree work with this piece and found these perfectly round smooth white stones to create the background, making the gold beads the focal point. Alternating are small golden beads which tie in all the components together.

Dangling earrings complement the necklace.
