This set was inspired by the center piece. I often buy materials from Fire Mountain Gems, and they often include a "free gift" with each order. Usually these aren't materials I'm interested in using - plastic beads and the like - but in this case I got this beautiful agate heart. I knew I needed to do something with it. The front clasp idea came from a rose quartz piece that my boss was wearing on occasion around the time I made this. The beads are Swarovski crystals alternated with blue goldstone ovals that are accented with freshwater pearls. The dangles on the heart are freshwater pearls and square Swarovski crystals. The earrings were designed to match and use the same materials.
