Materials: New, old stock Arizona Turquoise and recent Turquoise. New, old stock dyed Bamboo Coral. New, old stock, shell heishi beads. Recent Orange Shell. Strung on indestructible Spiderwire fishing line. Lobster claw clasp and silver plate end cones. Sterling Silver Beads. Fun to make, but stringing the super thin heishi beads is very time consuming. Adding photo of a necklace and adjustable bracelet set I made today. Kind of an explosion of various Quartz type rocks. Materials: Crystal, Snowflake, Rose, Smokey, and Green Hair Quartz. Fluorite. Amethyst. Garnet. Labradorite. Strung on Spiderwire. Wood end beads and lobster claw clasp. Most of the Crystal, Snowflake, Rose Quartz and all of the Amethyst were from past tumbles.

Thanks.
I prefer to make the SW style jewelry. This includes some of the Sleeping Beauty and Kingman I tumbled long ago. Next project will be a lot easier.

Nice and bright! I like bright colors. Thanks. I have always loved the combo of Turquoise and red coral. I was amazed that the second one lasted for 2 hours and then was sold. Never thought it would sell that fast.

Really pretty Fern! I agree with how nice the coral and turquoise look together. Very pretty!

Very nice! I love coral and turquoise together, too. I like the second set better, though. It just has so much going on. Did that sell from your website? ?

I like mixing a variety of Quartz type rocks together. Adding the Labradorite was something new and I liked the result. Will be omitting the Fluorite on the next set. ALso gathering materials to make a Traditional Navajo Treasure necklace. Those are fun. Talk about a lot going on. This sold from the Facebook page. Many of my friends do not have a Paypal acct., and one is required to purchase from the other one.
