Natural Carnelian and Lapis Lazuli

Here, on the photos, are the necklaces and bracelet that will travel in Swiss to their owner shortly. I wanted to publish the photos here because I wanted to tell you about the natural stones.

I had these natural carnelian stones for a year, I think, and thought they are so ...mmm... natural, with all the imperfections, of different colours... I could not see them in a beautiful necklace. More or less the same I thought about the chips of Lapis.

I tryed to do someting from them but was not satisfyed. Because they had nothing, those necklaces. "Nothing" in sense of fashion, behaviour, you understand.

Than, suddenly, I found this solution for carnelian. These all different beads combined with the yellow brillant pieces created a shiny, sollar effect so that it gave to the necklace absolutely unique look. Or it's maybe because I like it too much that it acquires it's splendor?

One client wanted to buy it when she saw it. But than other women that visited me saw it and wanted it too. It's strange, you know, when a necklace likes one person, there are others that want to have it too.

About Lapis Lazuli. These chips come from Afganistan, from royal caves. They are chips and as such are not perfect. But if you look at them you notice an interesting peculiarity. This lapis has golden points, it is brillant itself. Very interesting effect.

I have some other natural carnelian beads and will use them to make similar necklace (or a bracelet if they will be not enough for a necklace) for one of my neighbours now.
