The pattern is reminiscent of peacock feathers, but the colors are delicious eathen shades of beige, dusty rose and blue set in a black background. Handmade in California lthrough a technique called lampworked, each bead has unique patterns and slight color variation. I then set these fantastic glass beads between hand crafted sterling silver beads made for me in Turkey. The sterling silver lever backs latch securely and contain no nickle. Enjoy!
