Beady Goodness

After several months of having little interest in working with beads (preferring instead to play in my new metal workshop), I suddenly felt inspired over the last few days. Here's what I made...

Triple strand iolite necklace with lapis lazuli pendant

Tundra garnet necklace with tourmaline and smoky quartz centerpiece

...and another view of the same (sorry for the blurriness; I need to re-photograph this one; I'm not doing it justice here).

Multicolored sapphire necklace with shaded citrine pendant

Chunky tourmaline nugget bracelet

Cloudy aquamarine and sterling silver dangly earrings

'Shades of Grey' Swarovski simulated pearl and sterling silver earrings

Chrysoprase and antiqued sterling silver necklace (including my first time making my own headpins)

...and another view of the same, although the chrysoprase pendant didn't photograph too well.

Labradorite and sterling silver bracelet
