It was hard but, once again, I stuck to my Fall color palette. I love the sterling silver links on the left. The beads (also starting from the left) include: Black Labradorite, Agate, Australian Opal, Zebra Jasper, Rock Crystal, Ruby Red Quartz, Mookaite Jasper, Freshwater Pearl, Mother of Pearl, Bronzite and Eyeball Agate. Yum!
