Go Boldly Necklace - faceted fire agate and sterling silver

Description:

Do not fear
The sound of your voice
Pick up the microphone

This necklace has a different chain than I usually use, too. Delicate, but very strong this chain is called rolo chain, and the pendant slides along it with ease.

Total length of sterling silver chain is about 18" (46 cm). Contact me if you would like to modify the length of the chain.

Lucky Clover Necklace - deep green chalcedony and sterling silver

Description:

It may not be a four leaf clover, but it will make you feel just as lucky to have it around your neck. When I saw these stones, I knew that I had to have them.

There are different photos, including one with light shining through the stones, to show you the different ways that this rich stone can be presented. Against a dark background, it appears darker. Against a white background, you begin to see the rich brown tones in the center of each stone.

Carefully bound together using a new wiring technique that I taught myself, the wrapping is not readily apparent from the front.

Total dimensions of pendant are about 1 inch wide x one inch long (about 3 cm x 3 cm). Chalcedony beads measure an impressive 13 mm x 13 mm.

Total length of sterling silver chain is about 16.5" (42 cm). Please contact me if you would like to modify the length of the chain, and I will gladly do so.
