Yesterdays finds at the flea market were slim pickins...I only picked up a few items but did get a nice stash of beads from Mary "my" bead lady. I fell in love with some fire agate beads in the most unusual colors, I was not sure they were indeed fire agate but when Mary held them up to the light I could see the "fire" within. Lately I am loving long necklaces, I really have never liked anything heavy on my neck and since my neck surgery I can not tolerate anything touching my scar.
This piece that I made has a thinner copper chain so all the focus should be on the design of the necklace. I call this "Dusk"... The colors of this necklace remind me of Dusk, when the colors of the day blend to evening,Look to the sky you will know what I mean.
I used chunky baroque pearls for a touch of romance wrapped in copper wire and then attached them to a copper washer that I textured and oxidized. A chunky copper bead is sandwiched between some fabulous fire agate beads. I loved making this and it would be great as a short necklace as well. Tell me what you wear most often...what is your favorite piece of jewelry?
Gorgeous! The stones are such a pretty color and I love the long style. Big fan of copper too! You asked about our favorite jewelry to wear and oddly enough, I don't wear much jewelry besides my wedding ring. I guess that's kinda odd for someone who makes jewelry to say.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Love the copper washer and those agate beads are unusual!!!

Great necklace...as always! Funny thing...I don't wear jewelry! I have a pair of ear studs that my husband gave to me ages ago and my wedding band...that's it. I used to ear a watch but have given that up as well...who needs to be governed by time ;-)
