Sometimes Stings

Pleasure with pain, or so they say…and the beauty of the natural world provides a lesson in life and love and everything in-between.  A collection of favorites--from a vintage goldtone winged insect and a stinging scorpion brooch to a sweet gilt metal blossom--brings the best of all pursuits at the side of faceted golden metallic and gray crystal bead strands (six in all.)  A gilt copper and gray faceted glass jeweled clasp brings the design together at approximately 18.5" in length.  Altogether, a reminder of the challenges each day may bring and the great balance among them.
