New Topic: What is YOUR favorite piece of jewelry?
To try to stimulate some discussion, how about this topic? What is YOUR
favorite piece of jewelry and why? Is it something you made? Was it a gift? Was it a special purchase? Today for me it is a pair of earrings I made... they are not that unusual really, but the beads are a greenish picasso melon that seems to go with anything AND show up against my hair and skin. I'll try to post a pic in a day or so.

New Topic: What is YOUR favorite piece of jewelry?
Karleen -- I have a brown jade and aquamarine necklace that I am just nuts about. I've tried to sell it twice on ebay but it didn't go. I have remade it four times, LOL. I'm going to leave it exactly as it is and shorten it, probably today. And as soon as I do I don't think I will be able to sell it. I will have to keep it, cause I love the ****ing thing. Choker length makes the necklace pop. It will be mine. Rationale: Most of my clients like "bigger neck" pieces, and for some reason my fat body has a diminished neck (yeah picture my big head on top of that and somehow,, now, on paper I look like a cartoon character!! LOL). Truthfully everything is in proportion and looks just fine -- I just don't have a large neck like many woman my age and weight. Therefore, I probably wouldn't be able to sell it anyway, eh? LOL. If I shorten it today I will take a picture tomorrow and post it for you all to see. It really is spectacular, and I didn't want to let it out of my sight. Becki |

My favorite is the first embellished bracelet I made. It's in metallic
olive greens, vitrial Swarovski, and purpley oil-slick colors. I love it not only because it's the perfect piece of jewelry for me, not only because it gets comments wherever I go, but because it changed my life and made me into a beadweaver. ````````````````````````````` Vibrant Jewels wrote: To try to stimulate some discussion, how about this topic?

My favorite piece of jewelry is a Goddess necklace I made when my son was having a lot of emotional and physical problems and I was really at my wit's end. The Goddess is turquoise and the necklace is filled with healing stones -sodalite for courage, clear quartz for healing, rhodonite for listening, etc. I wore the necklace everyday and used it as a prayer necklace. I prayed for a miracle and was rewarded with one. About a year after my son's recovery, I got the chance to participate in a miracle for another mother.

I have a pair of simple gold hoops that I wear almost daily, and have
done so since I got them with my first paycheck from a job when I was 15. They are Israeli gold and I bought them at a shop that was co-owned by my great-aunt. I do wear other jewelry, but these are my 'signature' earrings and they always go back in once the other ones come out. I wear them more than the diamond studs I got for my 40th birthday. I even have a picture of them in a safety deposit box in the event I lose them and want to get them reproduced. They are about 18 gauge wire, give or take. |
