Beads of Courage Color Change Butterfly Necklace





Viking Knit Necklace with Swarovski Crystal Balls, Cantaloupe Bicones, Czech Glass, Crystal Ab Bicones, Silver & Gold Beads.











THE COLOR CHANGE













The Swarovski bicones change color! The Swarovski color-change crystals are called canteloupe. I purchased mine from Fire Mountain Beads & Gems.  The crystals change from a grey color  (sunlight) to a pink/peach (indoor light) to a green in Compact Fluorescent light (energy saving light bulbs).
