Howlite and Amethyst Beaded Necklace and Southwest Cross

I love the way turquoise "dyed" beads and amethyst beads compliment one another. I began this necklace by hand cutting the southwest cross from copper sheet metal and adding some designs. I accented the cross with a smalll turquoise Swarovski crystal. For the beaded portion of the necklace I have used amethyst rondel beads along with turquoise "dyed" magnesite and howlite beads.

I have also used a natural dark brown 3mm leather cord.
