Canada Day - A Time To Just Relax

 I had some very unexpected free time yesterday.

I had been planning to be so busy this long weekend that discovering I had free time came as a surprise. 

 I finally strung my Klimt Necklace.  It has been waiting for a very long time. 

The main bead component is so gorgeous that all I really needed to do was showcase it.

Hope my Canadian freiends are enjoying their long weekend!

Rectangle Black Onyx - Judith, by Klimt

This gorgeous rectangular Russian pendant is hand-painted with the highest quality precision brushes available. There are multiple layers of paint and lacquer applied to black onyx to produce the depth and perfection in each of these pendants. This design is based on the famous Gustav Klimt painting, Judith, and is sure to give your design a touch of feminine beauty.
