While I'm on the subject of jewelry...
Here is a necklace I made a little while ago I thought you might get a kick out of. Excuse my messy room. :> It's made of leftover pearls from the
Gilded Ren dress and hematite beads my Dad brought me from his first Navy deployment when I was 8. I think they are from Peru... someplace down there. :>
I was just trying to use what I had so they are plastic pearls. I'm glad I did now though, they balence out the super heavy hematite. I'm trying not to give in to the urge to take it off the stringing wire and knot it. I do love the feel of a knotted necklace! :>
And my new Fire jewelry. I have to admit my biggest fear in going with an Indian style set was getting something that looked like cheap Bollywood costume jewelry. I'm very happy to say this does not and the
seller's comments on quality were correct. It sparkles wonderfully and has a lovely weight to it. The way it's constructed is very cool and I'm thinking about taking it apart to lengthen it (so it encircles my whole neck) but we'll see.
