Lampwork Coins Copper & Magnesite

Lampwork beads are incredible since they rarely come out the same every time. These particular coin beads in this necklace are swirls of green, yellow, black, cream, and copper. Giving the necklace the highlight between chunks of white magnesite that have a slight brown matrix brought out by the loose copper spacers; then I added some ‘bling’ in light topaz crystals.

Looking to add a little balance and increase hopefulness? Or how about more energy, better concentration and clarity in decision making? Some of the colors in this necklace reflect the Chakra; Green is for Heart Chakra to increase love, empathy and compassion; Yellow is the Solar Plexus Chakra that symbolizes personal power, fulfillment, abundance, courage, and self confidence.
