New Designs

So I have some new pendants to work with, and here are the design ideas that I have in mind


I am thinking with this pendant I am going to make a spring or early summer inspired necklace, with chunks of amethyst, peridot, citrine, kyanite, tourmaline, and fluorite...among others I am sure

Bright green calcite...this picture makes it look...odd...but it glows like a firefly! So I am going to make a firefly necklace with greens, black and yellows...I want it to glow like fireflies in the night, so I think I will make the darker colors predominant



Ooooh Moss agate with swirls...I am thinking deep forest cave, all deep colors, malachite, onyx, labradorite, moss agate, iolite, grossular garnet, and so forth..I also want it to have a Celtic feel to it

Larimar and Moonstone...usually with Larimar I make ocean inspired necklaces (how can I not...its Dolphin Stone) I think for a change I am going to make a celestial 'blue moon' kind of piece with onyx, moonstones, iolite, tourmaline and such

Larimar and Citrine...I have promised myself a larimar necklace that I will keep for my personal collection..and this might be the one. It will be a combination of deep sea and sandy beaches that I visited when I was a child in Florida and South Carolina

Drusy Chalcedony...I am going to try something a little odd with this piece...deep forest in winter...snow colors, browns of tree bark, deep greens of the pine needles...Kinda like my first Yule ceremony in GA..the forest and the snow falling...

Ammonite spiraled with citrine, blue topaz, amethsy, smoky quartz, peridot and moonstone...I am thinking the elements and the spiral of life...another really flamboyant piece at least a triple strand if not a quad

I am thinking for this multigem piece, my version of the elements...peridot for earth, amethyst for lightning, smoky quartz for fire, citrine for air, blue topaz for water, and moonstone for spirit. A strange interpretation...but I think lightning is its own element

One word....Nebula! I am going to use charoite, moonstone, larvikite, labradorite...stones that are 'flashy' swirlly, and etheral for a deep space and nebula feel

Hello...just stopping by to see what's new with your jewelry making. I like the "Ammonite spiraled with citrine..."!

Love the ammonite! I can spend all day looking at a local gem and fossil boutique :D
