Ocean Turquoise Trail Ridge Spiral


Variation on Marcia Balonis's pattern "Chunky Spiral", always produces fabulous necklaces. Go to Marcia's web page to see her designs and purchase her wonderful patterns. I have been very lucky to take several of Marcia's classes at Beads in Tampa, FL. 

This spiral necklace came together using 8 mm Ocean Turquoise rounds, #8 Bronze & Matte Patina Iris seed beads, #6 Aqua seed beads, #6 Pink lined Orange Luster Hex Japanese seed beads, #11 Matsuno Iris seed beads and 4 mm Preciosa Montana AB rondells. The Ocean Turquoise Spiral is a custom piece and not available for purchase.
