I prefer weaving tiny seed beads to stringing beads, but these bold, black and gray, shiny faceted agate beads kept calling to me! I decided to pair them with a bright red bamboo coral bead as the centerpiece, and very small sterling silver spacers. I love the drama of the shiny patterned agate beads against the single red focal bead!
