Sometimes using woven wire just doesn't cut it--so this time I played with some sterling silver chain, and added labradorite briolettes as drops, for my daughter-in-law's Easter giftie. She can wear it with denim, she can wear it with dress-up outfits. Labradorite glistens and sparkles as the light hits it, and turns green, blue, silver or soft gray--what a beautiful gemstone!
Then I splurged and put together a necklace for myself, from carnelian briolettes, and Hill Tribes silver. Never having worked with that kind of silver before, I have suddenly become addicted. It is heavy but looks grand, and reminds me of Navajo silver, some of which I am still hoarding from 30 years ago when I first learned beading.
