These gathering of posts will include the close to 30 items of adornment that I created this summer from the stones that I’ve drilled, many of which I’ve found, and beads that have been collected over the years. they will appear here in the order in which they were created.

Each piece tells the story and carries its own magic. Eons of history, bound into delicate forms to carry and help us remember.

This piece is the color of moonlight. At its heart is a point of Veracruz amethyst, joining it are luminous beads of Peruvian pink opal, grey agate, Botswana agate, and blue-purple fluorite. This fluorite has some of the most interesting color I’ve ever seen. At the back is a small amount of knot-work and a pull high closure so that it is adjustable in length.

Simple elegance in three stones. Three ocean tumbled stones from the Atlantic are bound together with two beads pink Jasper, and a hand braided cord. At the back is a bead pull closure so that the length is adjustable. The beads at the back are pink Jasper, Amazonite, and strawberry quartz.
