The Rest of the Necklace


I am always looking for unusual beads and components. Sometimes I browse through my favorite supply shops to see what is new, and sometimes I search for a specific item such as glass leaves or vintage lockets. Every once in a while, I will come upon a component (when I was looking for something else) that makes my heart do a somersault.
That is how I found this stately queen. She is quite a large piece, a presence! I needed a way to connect her for a necklace, so I added some filigree, and pondered a bit about what the rest of the necklace would look like. I will show you in a bit. She does have a delightful companion. Can you guess who that might be?
