I am wire-wrapping stones these days.

I just finished this pair of earrings. Instead of wire-wrapping the stones, I returned to the technique of embroidering the stones.

Knotted with silk cording, this necklace has a 14kt gold clasp (Lobster claw 17 mm). Designed by Gail Devoid of Need For Beads, the necklace is a full 22.0 inches long (55.9 cm). The largest beads in the center are 16mm, and graduate to beads 12mm, and 10 mm in the back. Picture shows the clasp and the stamping.

These stones were taken from the same mine, and thus the color match is excellent. The facets make the stones sparkle, and this high-quality necklace is only one of three like it. If you enjoy high-quality stone jewelry, you are sure to love the color of these carnelian stones. The closeup picture shows the color and the knotting.

I will not be able to replenish my supply of these stones, and so supply is very limited.

Pink bracelet has a strong magnetic clasp that is embellished to match the beadwork. Art bead is a pretty pink bead.
