This diamond pattern with beautiful silver beads reminds me so much of walking home at dusk in Ithaca, NY, surrounded by a beautiful, silent snowfall. The ground sparkles here and there from the clean and brilliant snow as if diamonds have been flung across the ground, and there is something amazingly quiet, elegant and timeless being surrounded by a calm snowstorm. As a young friend of mine has said, “It’s hard to stand there in awe of nature and think of all the chaos, when all you can see is the beautiful and complex circle of nature.”

The beads are placed on every other diamond pattern section which makes them sparkle in a more surprising way! Enjoy the pattern.
