The grooves of these handmade "cactus" beads invited embellishment, so I strung tiny bicone crystals in crystal copper to pick up the Red Sea colors. I tapered the sizes of the spacers to extend the beads' oblong shape. If you prefer a truer topaz, you can string topaz bicones, but select your cactus beads and cosmic crystals first since they're available in fewer colors.
