Simple Act of Starting

The simple act of starting is often most difficult, but so incredibly rewarding.  A nod to the simplicity of effort and beginning, a single strand of polished gemstone beads (including jasper, jade, quartz, agate, and onyx) sets the stage for a vintage black enamel and goldtone blossom brooch, like a lovely corsage at the side.  A gilt copper toggle clasps the necklace at 19" in length.
