My latest creation

I've been so busy it's been weeks since I've created anything, but my best friend asked me to make a necklace for her - something simple yet elegant that she could wear every day. I used beads of apatite and kyanite in her favorite shades of blue and silver spacers and chain, so she can wear it with a ring she's having made from a silver pearl she handpicked at an oyster farm in Hawaii. I used three beads in three sets to symbolize their budding family (they just had their first baby last October). What do you think?

Ever have sellers remorse?

This necklace is one of my creations that sold on Etsy awhile back. It was one of my favorites and I find myself missing it terribly, even though I know it went to a good home -- AND I have a ton of turquoise necklaces already that my husband reminds me I never wear. :-) Sellers remorse, I guess. Has anyone else had the same thing happen to them?

For this necklace I used chunky turquoise nuggets, a teardrop shaped turquoise pendant on a bail, and a wooden Kwan Yin netsuke to bring out the brown in the turquoise matrix.
