Dalmatian Jasper And Sea Shells

Яшма и Перламутр

This 2, Dalmatian Jasper and black Sea Shells, seem to make a good couple. I tryed black Sea Shells with other stones but that combinations were not very successful, I think.

I wrote about the properties of Jaspers many times, so I don't want repeat the same information in every post, the only thing I want to remember here, they say, all Jaspers (and I have 4 colors of them) have similar properities but every color has own "specialization".

Here, in the bottom, is the photo of black colors in my collection. The cross is possible to remove from the necklace. Black onyx with Swarovsky crystalls necklace is very "serious" and beautiful. All these necklaces are long enough. You can find more photos if you open Categories on the right.

Brown Colors Of Autumn

Коричневый Опал

Some time ago came one relative to visit me. She knew I make necklaces and wanted to see if she can find something special for her tastes. She is a person that does not like bright colors. She wanted something with autumn light.

Fortunatelly I had brown opal. First she looked at green-brown/red necklaces like this Dragon Blood Jasper necklace or Malachite-Tourmaline necklace. But than I gave her these brown opal with red jasper necklaces, and she loved one of them in the same moment.

She bought my necklaces for her daughters before and wanted to have something for her too. Those were so good for the girls. Do you know, I noticed, there are some necklaces that seem to be made specially for this person. I really love the moments like this. This time happend the same story. She weared the necklace she choosed -and it was made for her. She was happy. I was happy too. And maybe MY happiness was bigger: imagine to see your creation to find it's place. Great feeling!

Зелёные Ожереля

Many of us like green stones. I lose my head for malachite. Imagine, I'm always problems with this stone. It disappears. I had great pieces of it in jewelry. Very beautiful pieces. Once it was a ring. I loved it sooooo much -I can't describe how much I wanted it always on my finger. One day I turned home and put it with earrings etc. on the table -and never found it more. This summer I made a necklace with big beads of malachite for me. A week ago I have brocken it. In the house. In the same place where the ring was losed. Imagine: there were about 7 very big beads in this necklace. I found only 2 of them. Is it possible that other 5 evaporated?

Well, here I present you 2 green stones. 3 to be precise.

Зелёные Ожереля

This necklace is made with Azurite/Malachite reconstructed beads and green Avventurine.
