This piece was made from Sesame Jasper, black onyx, and silver. My oldest daughter loves this stone. The beads look like mint chocolate chip ice cream. Really! My younger daughter made a necklace, bracelet and earring set for her older sister for her 16th birthday. I borrow it all the time. It looks really nice with teal and black, or cool greens. The stone is truly stunning.
One of the best things about making jewelry is being able to work with such beautiful materials. My favorite is semi-precious stone. I am constantly amazed at the variety of stones and their beauty. What a statement as to the glory and wonder of God's creation.

oh these are really beautiful laura! are these what your daughter did?
you have a very beautiful blog. i will add you to my blog roll. :-)
Yes these are lovely, and at least it wont go to your hips like mint chocolate chip ice cream. I agree, there are so many unique, and different gemstones to work with. Some people have never even heard of, or seen. I love to learn about them, collect them, as well as make jewelry with them.
This set is one I've made for sale. The one made for my daughter has oval beads, and a bracelet. It's equally beautiful. The color is just amazing!
very pretty indeed!
Hey there!
I'm kinda dropping by randomly (& kinda dropping by to hit you with my EC) to tell you about this new selling site I found. It's called ArtFire.com & you should check it out.
It's still really, really new (still in beta) but it's heading in a really good direction! They are already buying advertising online & in print magazines to bring in traffic to the site. (It's already got almost as much traffic as indiepublic.com)
It's got stats for shop views so you know where your customers are coming from! I know! Gasp! Faint! Right? hehe
& it's just $7 a month (for the first 5000 artists) to list & sell as much as you can FOREVER. $7 a month no matter what! I signed up on that alone! haha
Anyhoo, it is new so there aren't zillions of people using it (which is good & bad) but I thought you might want to take a look at it. With the ad campaign they are working on kicking in soon (or so they are saying), I think it's going to be a good place to start listing!
If you sign up, give me a yell & let me know what you think!
Always,
Amy
P.S. I come by here almost every night when I do my EC drops. Your blog is one of my favorites. Keep up the beautiful work! :)
Those are really pretty. I bet the oval beads are cool too.
