I was so inspired by the polished stones from that broken necklace I found at an estate sale that I decided to make another necklace and bracelet. The remaining stones varied in color from red to purple. They had a bit of grey, white and green in them. I was able to separate the stones into two piles. I used the rocks that were more purple for the necklace. I used an old earring that had lost it’s mate as a pendant for my necklace. The earring was from an estate sale as well. I have a few very pretty vintage (often rhinestone) earrings just waiting for a project like this necklace.
I used 6 more polished stone beads for a charm bracelet that matches my necklace. The set of stones in the bracelet includes both purple and red with a little green mixed inside. I used glass fire-polished amber colored beads and little gold metal beads as accent to my stones.
I’ve added the necklace and bracelet to the Unique Re-tiques Etsy Shop.
I’ve been doing so much wire-wrapping lately, I think I could do it in my sleep. It’s time for me to move on to something else I think.
