Natural stone combinations...

 "Silver Jade Acorn"

(Necklace)   Price:  $50.00  SOLD 

Of the few real Jade pieces that I got in the treasure trove from Lisa last year, I decided to use this stunning acorn and the last of my vintage chain of circles to create this piece in homage to Jeannie's necklace from two posts ago. Still leaning towards the very elegant 'elvish' forest feels from the Lord of the Rings movies and books, I started building the focal (the hanging center drop part that anchors a necklace) using similar ideas from before, although I steered away from repeating it exactly. I also liked the combination of the Fluorite beads, nine of them, to compliment the gorgeous jade acorn. Very soothing and healing to wear, and pretty to look at. Like most of my necklaces, it sits right at the collarbone of the wearer and is adjustable for comfort. Although I have since played with various gold metals, copper, and antiqued bronze, silver is my preferred metal of choice for a lot of creativity because I wear it almost exclusively. However, I have plans to play with gunmetal, blacks, and variations on copper, bronze, brass, and more silver and rose gold. Stick around and see the array of my creations to date. As I process the photos for the blog, I'll post them as I go. Including these first two, there are at least 40 designs of earrings and necklaces that I have created to post...give or take a few pairs of earrings that I created as giveaways to friends at Christmas.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by.
Cheers,

Marianne
