CANDICE

Many years ago, during one of his many golfing trips up to Thailand with the senior golfers, my Dad came back with the beautiful pink & white bi-coloured bougainvillea plant in the above RH pix. At that point in time, he'd never set eyes on bi-coloured bougainvillea and he was truly amazed and pleasantly surprised, as he'd never seen this species at the flower gardens here. When googling the name of this variety, how apt it was when I found out its called 'SURPRISE'.

My sister and I were reminiscing about plants and fruit trees he's planted in the garden over the years, and were tickled pink when we remembered how he actually brought this bougainvillea back here :)

Inspired to make a necklace, I was delighted to find that I had a strand of Kamoe-Clay Polymer Clay lentils with just the perfect design and colours to help me out with the piece in mind - smooth, highly-glossed and perfectly colourful with white and shaded pink flowers ... how perfect is that !

After adding a topping of pink gemmies like shaded Tourmalines & Rose Quartz to the Clay lentil, and a hanging cluster of green Peridot & Vesuvianite Rondelles + faceted pink Beryl briolettes, it really did look pretty, especially with more white accents in the form of freshwater and a couple of 8mm swarovski glass pearls along an etched pewter chain of 16", with an extension chain of up to 18".

14K goldfill and Vermeil elements and accents.
U.S. etched pewter chain.
