I loved the challenge of using this Buddha pendant in my jewelry and I couldn't stop making pieces to go with it!
This jewelry set creates a striking balance between peachy sweet rose gold tones and lovely blue hues. The crystals colors sparkle and gleam together in each jewelry design. Becky challenged Cynthia on Facebook Live with these components to make a piece of jewelry and Cynthia created this set. You can watch Cynthia make these pieces and more here.
