Black Theia

I finally finished "Black Theia" and also made a matching set of earrings.  I was pretty pleased with how the lariat turned out.  The all black color scheme allows the neat pattern of the St.Petersburg chain to stand out.  I used true cut Czech seed beads for the body of the chain, which gives you little sparkles of light when it is moved about.

 

Theia was the Titian goddess of sight and the shining light of the clear blue sky and by extension endowed gold, silver, and gems due to their brilliance and sparkle. It seemed appropriate to name this necklace design for her and especially since the first one I made was a beautiful dark sky blue.
