A Grecian beauty clasps a bouquet of pink roses to her heart, her gold-banded teal gown draped in serene folds about her as she dreams of days last spent with her one true love in this very topiary garden. There are no beads on this design -- the textural interplay of carved stone, shimmering silk and soft rose petals is embellishment enough.
