Turquoise, Emerald and Pearl Necklace in brass

Handcut brass necklace with turquoise and emerald chip beads and freshwater pearl beads. It is from my Flower Power range and there are different shaped flowers hanging from the pendant. I took this design from a necklace I made 25 years ago! it was made from copper and then enameled, the main piece was black the rest multi coloured. I don’t do much enameling now, I must fire my kiln up and dust off my enamels!
