Amethyst, Rose Quartz and Freshwater Pearl Necklace

I love this necklace. Do I say that about all of my pieces? I hope not, but I'm too lazy to go back and look.



I started with the focal piece of this necklace--the amethyst disc. I knew I wanted to mix it with some pastels and make as dainty a piece as one can make with such an amazing pendant!





I mixed together small rounds of rose quartz, creamy ivory rice freshwater pearls and small tumbled chunks of amethyst. All metals are sterling silver.





I'm sad to sell it--I've gotten lots of compliments on it. It's perfect for Easter, and matches the amethyst disc earrings I already blogged about a few entries back.

Price: $32.

Good Luck, Mayor Sara

And, finally, the last few shots of Mayor Sara Presler. Good luck with the campaign!

Mayor Sara Knows How to Accessorize!

And now, we get to the heart of the exciting, exciting matter: MAYOR SARA PRESLER WORE MY NECKLACE TO AN OFFICIAL MAYORAL RACE EVENT!

Last week, there was a mayoral campaign debate between Mayor Sara (yay!) and her 2 opponents (*shoulder shrug*). I am sure her opponents are nice people, but they did not wear my jewelry, so they are no longer important in this story.

Here is the Mayor on the night of the debate:


And here she is getting briefed on the debate instructions:



More photos of the Mayor in action to come.

Our Story Continues

Now, Ian is a high-level staffer of the Mayor of Flagstaff, AZ, the charming and delightful Sara Presler. Mayor Presler is running for re-election. Why? Because she's a darned good mayor, that's why!











So one of Ian's friends (on the left) and I hatched a plan to buy one of my 3 Coins in the Fountain Necklaces as a gift for her. I also made a campaign contribution because, while I cannot vote for Mayor Sara, I do support her in my heart of hearts.



We chose the Ocean palette--Democrats always look best in blue!

Very Exciting Development!

I have to say that today, one of the most exciting things happened to me. Or, rather, to one of my necklaces! I plan to tell you the entire story in slow, agonizing detail, as well as sharing photos and a video! Yay!

The story begins with my friend Ian.



I don't have a picture of Ian so that will have to do.

No, no, I kid. This shot looks much more like dear, dear Ian:



But Ian in 20 years, of course. Not now. Now, he's a striking young man, full of promise.

...and our story will continue tomorrow!

Accessorizing is Important

I will have you all know that I am wearing the amethyst earrings today at the office. So there!

Amethyst and Sterling Silver Earrings

Amethyst is the birthstone for the month of February.



For these earrings, I used discs of amethyst, along with sterling silver daisy spacers. I topped the spacers with a rondelle of amethyst, and attached ear wires as the final step.


The chunks of amethyst measure approximately 1 1/4 in. in diameter, and the drop of the earring is 1 1/2 inches.
Price: $24.
