The shape of the triangle links in this necklace are perfect for geometric designs, while the floral texture pairs nicely with Czech glass flowers. The result is this fabulous bib design.
Czech glass flowers and TierraCast triangle links from the Dulce Vida collection combine in this spring fantasy of a necklace. The flowers and triangles come together with wrapped loops linked in creative patterns for a bib style with dangles below. Colorful ribbon completes this bright bohemian look. You can see more pieces from the Dulce Vida collection and more jewelry inspiration for how to use them in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
