I apologize for the poor quality of this picture. It is quite difficult to get the lighting right so the color of the stones shows well. This is the very first necklace I ever made. Yes, it was very ambitious for a beginner, but I saw the design in my head and had to reproduce it with stones in real life. It is made of natural faceted citrine beads and freshwater pearls in a three tiered style with 14K gold filled findings. It drapes as beautifully on the neck as it does in this picture and I felt like a queen every time I put it on. It is currently on display at Island Studios on San Juan Island and for sale for $150.

COLOR...I love color. My favorite color when I was little was orange, for my favorite food. When I was a young adult it was green, for my love of trees. Now my favorite color is red, the color of love. I enjoy mixing colors unexpectedly. But don't green and blue go together? Like spring grass under a pure sky. This natural gemstone bead necklace is made with olive jade (or gem quality serpentine) and rare Peruvian opal. The clasp and spacer beads are 14K gold filled. $55 plus shipping.
