I have been collecting jewelry piece and gemstones, now creating pieces of my own. I decided to show them so that you can see how beautiful they can be and how inexpensive.
First is my Mixed Tourmaline beads from from the Del Mar Fair. I turned into the beauty below, the photo is too dark to catch the hues and colors, it is rich. Here it is below. The second photo is my Black agate necklace from Ebay, that I turned into a necklace. This one cost more as I put gray Swarovski crystal spacers inbetween the beads to lighten the dark black with grey swirls. Ahh... so Have fun and explore and see if you can save by creating a simple piece yourself. I had to go to Beads, crystals and more to help me put the piece together. A few steps require really good hand eye coordination, I am still working on it. :)
