Description

Our one-of-a-kind Liken Lichen necklace set was inspired by the speckles of sage green on the Lampwork focal bead, reminding us of lichen* on trees, paired with Swarovski crystals in jet black, Czech glass rondelles in complementary colors of bronze and golden brown, Myuki seed beads and sterling silver beads. Suspended on an 18-inch sterling silver tag, the 1 1/2-inches by 5/8-inch pendant is accompanied by a pair of matching 1 1/2-inch sterling silver earrings. A tiny, sterling silver tag bears our Dreamscape Jewelry Design logo, ensuring this is an original design.
