Splashes of Spring Necklace

Designed by Ashley Bunting


What's hot for Spring? Fabulous lush bright colors, turquoise, coral, and rich blues. Fashion that warms you. This necklace brings the sunshine and is just a step away from the beach.

 

Cool marbled turquoise lucite is paired with warm tomato red lucite to create an awesome color contrast. Coral flowers add a soft organic element to the vibrant red and turquoise. The lush beads are nicely complimented by rich matte vintage gold chain.
