Pretty in Pink III - Retired Red Pink Prism, the sequel!

So I had 2 retired red pink prisms but they were very different...

So when I saw another preloved with great definition and a great price I thought it was time for 2 to become 3!

Okay I might have a touch of multiples disease now... this is the first time I've had 3 beads the same, only that's the point they're not quite the same, one would think that 3 is a good place to stop, I've always liked 3 as a number...

Only I, er, didn't, 5 is such a good number don't you think?

This is a good photo as it shows the variety and the depth of the pink in this particular prism, the only remaining question is will I stop at 5... 7 is such a good number don't you think?

Pretty in Pink I - Retired Red Pink Prism

Another retired bead I've always kept an eye out for has been the retired red pink prism, it has been on my very first wishlist since I started collecting but I hadn't seen any until very recently.  I particularly like dual toned prisms so it was always going to appeal to me.

I've discovered that prisms are a bit like buses, you wait ages for 1 and then 3 come along at once... although I declined No.3 and plumped for No. 2 which had great definition and also went the opposite way to No.1 just for a bit of variety... does this mean it's not a multiple??

Well it seemed like it was a good time to put together a new bracelet!

The colour combination on this bracelet was inspired by seeing one of Anne's red/pink bracelets, this one has already had a lot of wear and is one of the ones that has been kept together... although it has been updated with a little something... but more on that another day!
