Inspiration: The design started off fairly simple, I wanted to use mixed metals with some grey-white Botswana agate disks. After I'd completed the chain, it just seemed to need something more. I thought maybe a pendant, but then decided to put multiple ones. After that, I remembered that I had a batch of lovely moonstones, some of which had a bit of gray tint to them, so, using gold headpins to keep with the mixed metal theme, I added them too.
The inspiration for the name came from the glow of the moonstones and Botswana agates reminding me of moonlight on a misty night.

Inspiration: I am giving away a necklace in the month of September to a ckient of my bead store www.magpiegemstones.com
My client's are amazing people. Many have become friends and their warmth and friendship as well as their immense creativity makes me happy to wake up every morning and get to work. In trying to think of a way to repay them I thought of making a necklace out of the best labradorite I have and giving it away.
This is what manifest itself on my work bench when I went at the task.
