I think this is really beautiful, Nishedha. Thanks for showing it. What I find most pleasing is the balance it achieves: between the variety in the glass and the uniformity of the gold beads; between the relative modesty of the glass beads and a refined ostentation in the gold. Sad to say, whenever I look at a box of disparate old beads, the only necklace I can imagine is threaded on a length of string and hanging from a hook! So I really do admire your ability to conceive of something that has this kind of perfection and then to realize it so successfully.
