Rhodonite Necklace & Bracelet

Made this quite a while ago but forgot to post it on the blog. The bezeled cab is rhodonite coming from Madagascar. The straps are seed beads with intermittent rhodonite beads, both oval and small round.


























Thought I'd make a matching bracelet with the remaining rhodonite rounds.

Blue Lace Agate Ruffled Necklace

Remember the following bracelet I made a while back?......

















Well, I made a necklace to match the bracelet. The blue lace agate cabochon in this necklace is from Brazil. Just look at the lace in that rock......gorgeous stone!

Red Lariat Necklace

This lariat necklace is made by using the St. Petersburg stitch. Very fun stitch!



Azurite Malachite Necklace

Wasn't sure what seed beads to use for this stone. Thought of using just black seeds, but then wandering through a bead shop I came across these green and blue seeds and they match so well with this azurite malachite stone, that I decided to pepper them in the work....



Flower with Red Velvet Necklace

One more stringing project and then back to beadweaving. I just love these red beads (I call them "red velvet") so I had to use them again. The silver flower pendant is handmade from the Karen Hill Tribe in northern Thailand. The flower clasp matched so well I just had to use it for this necklace.



Flower New Jade Bracelet

Love this stone! The stone is called "Flower New Jade" and I just love the color mixtures in these stones.....
