Cherry Blossom Ending: A Layered Rose Quartz Necklace

Back in May, I received a lovely chunky rose quartz (at least I think it's rose quartz) bracelet from my dear friend, Alice. We both attended Language and Culture Training for Diplomats sponsored by Korean Foundation in Seoul from March to May 2016. The training was held exactly during spring. I was lucky to have chance to see lovely cherry blossoms blooming in April. And Busker Busker's Cherry Blossom Ending (벚꽃 엔딩) seems to be the eternal song of spring.

Back to the bracelet, I feel like this represents the lovely pink hues that the cherry blossoms bring. Unfortunately, it was a bit too big for my wrist. Since I could resize it due to the wire string, I figured out that it would better be a necklace.

Fortunately, I have everything that I need including the shocking pink stone and assortment of rose quartz beads. After all, rose quartz is one of the two Pantone colour of 2016. :)
