Prehnite and Tanzanite Earrings

I've started using my newest beads to make some earrings and necklaces.  Most of what I've made is for an upcoming show I have at Picture This Art Gallery in April.  But a small selection will be listed on etsy instead. 

These brand new earrrings feature flattened marquis shaped prehnite beads accompanied by small tanzanite rondelles.  The color combination screams "spring" to me!  The pale green with the periwinkle is a bit unexpected, but I think, lovely.

These earrings are for sale in my etsy shop.  Remember, I still have a 20% off sale going on.  Simply make your purchase and I will refund the 20% via paypal.

Three Beautiful Stones

These softly colored stones look so lovely together. The largest stone is pale green prehnite, and it looks as though it is lightly frosted. On the left is a plump briolette of aqua chalcedony. On the right is a small pink amethyst, which is really closer to a lilac color.

Half the fun of making necklaces such as this one, is deciding which stones look best together. I place them in one palm, sometimes rejecting one that look out of place, sometimes adding a third (as the pink amethyst was in this case). I've been known to spend an hour just making up several stone combinations before actually wrapping any wire and constructing any necklaces.

This sweet necklace is for sale in my etsy shop.
