I'll need to find or to make some matte-finished, smoke colored, small spacers to use with this set. However, as it is, the very pale shades in these lampwork beads by Serena's Beadery just set off the opal effect in the glaze on this gorgeous Raku-fired bead by Mary Harding Jewelry. Not much else is needed to make this beautiful bead really catch the eye.
