Denim Lapis Lazuli, Lapis Jasper and Onyx Necklace



I have some unfortunate photos of a new necklace of mine that I want to share.

I call them unfortunate because...well, they really stink. This was another case of 'I just finished it, and almost forgot to take photos, and it's grey outside today and I need to get a few shots and oh god, hurry up, you're already late.'

Hence, these junky pics. Sorry, all.



For this necklace, I used a huge chunk of denim lapis lazuli (it's called denim in the industry because it's a lighter version that standard lapis). I especially like how this pendant looks...like a rock! You can see all of the striations of color, the whites and blacks and shades of blue.



I picked up the blue with flat squares of lapis jasper, and the black with larger rounds of Onyx.



All metals are sterling silver.

Price: $42 (sold! Blue always sells well).

ps: one of the photos shows the pendant with a weird spike-y shadow. That's the stone finial on my balcony! You may have noticed it in other shots. Kind of funny.

When I saw the first photo of this necklace I got all twingy...in my unmentionable regions.

When I saw it had been sold, my heart broke. (For me, for you it was grudgingly happy.)

Sigh. Purdy.
