Truly an inspired design given the solid black bead strand, oxidized silver design and lush blue turquoise E-W oval pendant. Earrings to match are a winner because not overly large but have plenty of presence - can stand on their own and make statement also. The "take it a notch up" improvement would be that turq pendant is too "flat." For look the truly lux look this was going for, pendant needed more turq making the oval cabochon ROUNDED, not flattened which skimps on stone.
