Stormy Larvakite Dragonfly Necklace with Aquamarine & Onyx

I was looking over my bead stash three days ago, searching for a good combination for some gorgeous citrine nuggets I have. Nothing seemed right or good enough for them though, and so I may make them up into something all on their own.

Then I came across these beautiful Larvakite smooth rounds. They are dark gray, black and white with some chatoyancy of blue and white flashes. My first thought was keep it simple, make it a knock out classic like a Jackie O. strand of big fat pearls. So I tried putting them with only onyx, then added some black horn rondelles. The plain black did not do them justice though.

Finally I put them with some aquamarine and that was the perfect union. I still kept the design simple, but simple doesn't mean that it comes out fast or easily! It usually takes a lot of trial and error even to get a simple piece right. The aquamarine chips give it an edgey chic look. I kept the small onyx rounds for a nice contrast, added in bali silver daisies and finished it with a sterling silver bali dragonfly toggle. The overall effect is very appealing. It is 17 inches in length.

With all the grays and blues coming out in fashion this season, it should work very easily into a basic wardrobe that needs some good jewelry. This item can be viewed in my etsy shop here: Stormy Larvakite Dragonfly Necklace

Burgundy Starfish Swarovski Crystal Necklace

This necklace is strung with rich burgundy freshwater pearls, sterling silver, bali silver and has a beautiful burgundy swarovski starfish pendant as it's focal. I've finished it with a sterling silver bali toggle and it is 16 1/2 inches in length. This piece is available here for purchase.

These starfish are so lovely, they always make me smile. You'll see more starfish coming up and in more colors soon; in earrings and another necklace. Matching earrings for this piece are also available.

Double Stranded Jasper Necklace Tribal Rainforest

I was inspired here by my recent custom order necklace which was made of leopard skin jasper. I had my pendants and seed beads out along with the green stones and so couldn't resist making another double necklace for my shop.

As it turns out my hair stylist has said she would like to have some of my pieces in her salon, so I think I will put this piece in there rather than my etsy shop.

It is made of ocean jasper, olive opal, fancy jasper, matte glass seed beads, swarovski crystal accents and sterling silver.

I'm very pleased with the combination of so many different shades of green together. There is deep forest green, olive green, blue green and grass green along with some white and gray in the ocean jasper. Very earthy and tribal looking to me.

Lovely Paua Shell Pendant with Pearls on Silk Necklace

Here is a piece of jewelry inspired by spring. Our weather has been so beautiful this past week. We had a very cold winter this past year here in Missouri and are so happy to see some warmer days finally.

And what says spring better than the purple crocuses, lilacs, hyacinths and green grass? I love the color combination of purple and green.

This is a lovely paua abalone shell pendant in the go go shape and has amazing swirling colors of green, purple, blue pink and black. The rice pearls, potato pearls and coin pearls have all been hand knotted into place along with tanzanite and olivine swarovski crystals on a purple lilac 100% silk cord necklace. The crystals add such a nice subtle sparkle through out the piece. The necklace is finished with sterling silver and is adjustable from 17-19 inches in length.
