Ok, a friend was on my case about a couple of her favorite necklaces that she thought I ought to bring back. So, I’m not much on having friends on my case so here they are!
First up, a necklace first designed as a medal of honor for a heroic mom! It’s named Greta after a friend who saved her daughter from drowning and features a lovely agate centerpiece surrounded by a dyed black agate ring, hanging on a leather cord…
Greta - agate
And, of course, Frame of Flowers – jasper and poppy (brecciated) jasper – also on a leather cord…
Frame of Flowers - jasper
While I was rummaging around to see if I had the “ingredients” to make a second one of each of these, I came across some cool jasper teardrop shapes that were floating about in my “jasper” drawer that were just begging me to do something similar with them. Like friends, I tend to obey my rocks…
Garden Meditation - jasper and amethyst
Hope you enjoyed them!
How beautiful! I can see why your friend wanted you to bring them back – they’re so classy and not too complex! (Complex jewelry can be beautiful, but it must be nice to get such lovely results from something that doesn’t leave you with a serious case of “plier hands” afterwards, such as a cha-cha.)
Very hard to pick my favorite out of these. Greta has such a fabulous, classic shape combination, very retro, but I love the look of the chunky cross in the Frame of Flowers.. and then, something about Garden Meditation just hits me in the chest – it’s so -right-, the colors and shapes are just VERY drawing!
Wonderful work. (: Merry Xmas! <3
