For example, this large briolette faceted crystal bead suggests a simple but sophisticated approach. The result is a necklace you can wear with that little black dress or a t-shirt and jeans. Once you make this necklace, you'll want to make
a matching pair of earrings to go with it.

*1 - 15x14mm Swarovski olivine briolette crystal (#6012)
