I had fun making this as Carnelian is one of my favorite gem stones... and don't you just love those leaves? An interesting point I hand cut all my rings with a jeweller's saw... often while I'm sitting in ferry line ups or the passenger seat of my husbands truck... I keep trying to tell him that I'm just increasing the value of his truck with all that silver dust in the carpet! SO far he's not buying it....
I actually have made one pair of earrings will see if I can get someone to take a picture of me wearing everything.... (that's in focus!)

Quick note I'm number 71 in the list so that you can keep on track! Here's a list of all the blogs so that you can just keep moving.... I love comments so pleas comment if you visit!

  13. Those leaves are so great! I love the chain maille that you did. I took a class at Bead & Button last year and really enjoyed it. Would love to do more. Not that interested in cutting my own rings, though! Thanks for sharing this heaping serving of great soup! Be sure to stop by and taste some of mine. Enjoy the day! Erin

  18. Yummo! I adore carnelian -- it is so "warm". Beautiful answer to the modern components with the ancient chainmaile additions.

    Hasn't this been fun?

  30. I love what you did with the byzantine! So creative!! The colors are amazing. Did you shape the leaves some too? Great work!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. No the leaves were used exactly as I received them... the solder loops were part of them too! I kept taking elements on and off trying to get the perfect balance amongst the 'dangles'!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Great piece! Love your chain maille work!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow just wow, the colors are like the soup I got and I love what you did with yours! You did such a great job.

  34. I recently made a necklace that looks quite similar - obviously wothout those pretty leaves and without chainmaille (since I don't have this capabilities). I should send you a picture.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I love how you worked this necklace out! Very nice! :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think you are the only person at the party who did chainmaille! One day i am going to get up my courage and try it. I cut some jump rings for my Party piece, and they were a disaster, so I can't imagine how you do it with a saw in a vehicle - sounds mighty dangerous, even if not moving. Love your final product. Bravo to you!

  37. Beautiful, bright and cheery! Love it...

    ReplyDelete
  38. very pretty design!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Wow, very nice! Love the chainmaille!

  40. Beautiful, great necklace. Lots of warm color, with the silver leaves. It's thanksgiving! Lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  41. What a goreous necklace! And I love that you used chainmaille - sure made your piece one of a kind. I would really like to try my hand and learn how to do that some day too!
