$\"\"$ <\/a>
\nOver the past several days, I have made several necklaces from beads and gemston<\/span><\/span> $\"\"$ <\/a>e chips that are in inventory. The first completed necklace was made for my daughter in law as her birth<\/span><\/span>day is this month. April birthstone is diamond, since I could not <\/span><\/span>make this <\/span><\/span>with diamonds, I substituted rock crystal chips. The chain and clasp are Sterling Silver.
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nNext I took some Fire Opal chips and strung them on 7 strand Beadlon gold colored crinkle wire. These chips are exceptionally beautiful and have a wonderful play of color.<\/p>\n

Lastly, some calsilica beads (enamelled clay fired beads) with a unique coloring were inspiring me to use bright blue artistic wire to make all components of thi<\/span><\/span> $\"\"$ <\/a>s necklace in the shop. Working with metal, in this case wire, is terrific as I get to create my unique interpretation of the stones.<\/p>\n

Going to make a bracelet in multimetals and use cold connections. This will make my first foray into cold connections for a major piece.
