A Sea of Coral

I do not used dyed stones in my designs very often, but I love the dyed colors of coral. I really like mixing red and black together on a design.

I think they are classic colors and can be worn with so much. The coral in this necklace is definitely big and bold. There is some definite weight to this piece. I added a little sparkle of Swarovski but in a muted way just because it is nice to have some bling.
