New Necklaces

Here are a few beaded necklaces I've put together recently. They will all be up in my Etsy shop soon.

Mystical labradorite necklace (sterling silver)

These labradorite beads have been heat-treated to create an extra-flashy 'mystic' finish.

Rosewater Necklace

Chunky faceted rose quartz nuggets, aquamarine/beryl nuggets, Swarovski simulated pearls, and sterling silver 'stardust' rondelles.

Pink Pebble Necklace

Tumbled tourmaline nuggets with sterling silver beads and caps (I think I might want to oxidize the silver...)

eBay treasures

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with eBay. While there are surely many lovely things and good deals to be found, I get frustrated by the amount of time I inevitably spend browsing for things that I ultimately may or may not 'win'. I'd rather just buy it if I want it, you know? But every once in a while I find a real treasure...

8mm square cushion tourmaline cabs
(You can see one in action in the stacking ring in my previous post.)
