Rutilated Quartz . with Sapphires . Necklace
Remember this post? Well, here's a variation of the necklaces featured there. Once again, I started with a long briolette of rutilated quartz. It is joined by two small briolettes of watermelon colored sapphires. Just like the other necklaces, I oxidized all of the sterling silver and selectively hand sanded it to reveal just a bit of the shiny. This is a look I really like for its understated elegance.

Rutilated Quartz . with Sapphires
Several weeks ago, I added a beautiful necklace to my etsy shop that featured a long briolette of rutilated quartz flanked by 2 colorless sapphires. It didn't last long. When I started to make another one, I discovered that none of my remaining colorless sapphires would fit on 26 ga wire. I don't stock 28 ga wire -- but that's a topic for another day.
What to do, what to do. Turning back to the sapphires, I spotted these raspberry colored beauties. Then I saw some peach, some watermelon and lemony sapphires. Problem solved! They all looked great with the crystal clear and black rutilated quartz. This raspberry adorned one is in my etsy shop.

Broken Teepee Designs - Handcrafted Gemstone Jewelry. Made in Montana
This blog post is all about my friend and extraordinarily talented teammate, Patty of Broken Teepee Designs.
We are both members of the Artisan Beaders Street Team on Etsy. I have come to know Patty and consider her a dear friend. Her jewelry designs are outstanding. She has mastered the use of color by choosing and combining the highest quality gemstones.
One of my favorite pieces of Patty's is her necklace (actually 2 necklaces!) entitled Eastern Spice, seen on the right. The earthy colors Patty selected are both warm and exotic at the same
time. Beautiful citrines, green garnets and sapphires are brought together in Patty's talented hands to create the gorgeous focal point of the main necklace.
The second necklace is simpler, but is a perfect complement to the complexity of the one above. This photo shows both pieces and how they nest together to form an elegant and truly special jewelry set.
Be sure to visit Patty's Etsy shop to see more of her unique jewelry. Plan on visiting her often, as she updates her shop frequently. You don't want to miss a single pice of Patty's handcrafted gemstone jewelry, made in Montana
