Shiny!

I treated myself to a little genuine Swarovski crystal, and it arrived today.

A handful of fire Swarovski crystal: fire opal, topaz, light topaz

I'm not much for flash and glitter as a rule, preferring the subtler sheens and hues of natural semi-precious stones and shell, but these are rather lovely.

Oh, how beautiful. I would love a necklace made with those. I kind of have one from Elise, actually. Really pretty. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

Thank you! The fire opal in particular is amazingly vivid in real life. I have a design in mind, though it may have a bit of evolving to do yet; I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out.
