Crystal Crossing



I enjoy Hill Tribe Silver, so I collect pieces as I am able. Recently I broke into my stash with the idea of designing something a little different. I had two stamped beads with crossed holes. A design leapt into my mind's eye based on, of all things, my watchband, which features Swarovski crystals worked on Softflex in a right angle weave technique. The crossed holes in the beads seemed like the perfect focal point for a pattern like that, and in my collection I found some sterling cornerless cubes that I felt went nicely with them. Here is the design I came up with, worked with peridot crystals and then with Montana blue. Guess which one I'm keeping?
