Owls have really made a comeback from the 1970s. They are a theme that invokes happiness and thoughtfulness. The dark owl charm in this piece was the inspiration for this necklace, and it took me awhile to find the perfect bead combinations that would do this little guy justice. The garnet colored crystal beads in this necklace are a very deep color, so the silver seed beads make a great accent in between each of them, and the dark metal owl charm is the perfect focal pieces for the beads as well. You can team this necklace up with these
Dangle Garnet Crystal and Sliver Earrings.
