Aqua Terra Necklace

by Joan Williams

Whenever we travel to a new place, the first thing I do is look for bead stores - one of my favorites is Bally Beads in Rockwall, TX.

While browsing their showroom this summer I discovered these wonderful freeform beads of aqua terra jasper and couldn't wait to make this necklace from them.

I teamed them with some picture jasper and czech glass and finished it with a textured sterling toggle.

Although it's simply strung, the irregular shapes and beautiful color variations of the aqua terra jasper make this a striking piece.
