Thank goodness for a learning curve--sometimes time makes all the difference in acquiring new skills or making a change in life.  We loved the gradual progression of pink in this lovely line-up, with vinyl sequins, faceted fire agate, and faceted crystal beads adorning the vintage rhinestone and pale goldtone necklace at front center.  Finishing the look at back are rolled silver beads from India and a vintage rhinestone and costume pearl clasp, adjustable from 18 to 19.5" in length.
