Three light weight variations of turquoise n natural Amber necklaces.
A bit messy but inspiring. Stringing along a few new necklaces. Waiting on an order of findings. 7 layer pearls, crystals, seed beads n sterling silver. Amber, resin turquoise, seed beads. Thin leather cord with wooden beads n a bone wolf pendant. 6 in waiting to string up. So nice to be back to my beads👏🏽🤗
Gifts for a friend.
So how did turquoise get its name? Here's the info..
Gifts picked out today and went to good home.
Made this necklace and earrings last summer and still wear it year round. It was with me my whole 5 weeks vacation. 4weeks were camping and hiking southwest Red. Washed it as I showered.
Never use vinegar to clean your pearls. Will break down & dull outer natural shine.
actually dissolve the pearls.
This was fun.
Hey that's some view on a great day for an art exhibition.
Contemporary Jewelry Handmade in Northern California from the Highest Quality Natural MaterialsI like using strong beading wire, mixed metals, leather, I love turquoise, shells, various gemstones, crystals, bone, ceramic, acrylic beads and good strong crimp beads are a must.There are so many product options out there.I decided to limit my products to mostly North American regions and Mexico. I remember when I first started I purchased some Chinese turquoise and wasn’t too pleased. Then I learned a few of my vendors were selling me Chinese stuff too. There are some quality gemstones mined in China. However knowing the distance traveled made me reconsider and stay within our continent. It’s a big one anyway. Jewelry making helps me relax, I find it therapeutic. My back and fingers get sore but it’s all worth it when I see someone wearing something I’ve made. Darn right Joyous!
