Christmas Trifle

Rather resembling a string of flat lollies, this necklace is made of shell beads – possibly dyed mother-of-pearl – interspersed with coloured seed beads. The round disc beads are just the size of an average sequin, and as reflective. One of my nieces gave it to me for Christmas and was spot on the mark: she must have known if it were shiny her aunty would like it. A tempting treat sans calories. Delicious!
