Turquoise Delight

Turquoise with biwa pearls and other treasures

Turquoise with biwa pearls and other treasures

Because blue is my favorite color, turquoise has become my personal stone of choice when creating jewelry.

Often I will walk around for days with an idea of what I want to create before I actually sit and do.

Then I place the stones and components according to the image that I originally had, only for it to look different in reality.

This piece is created with a turquoise focal bead, sterling silver leaf beads, amethyst, turquoise and stick or biwa pearls with a sterling silver toggle clasp.

Lovely, Raven!

Turquoise is a favorite of mine too.

I often have the same experience you mentioned - having a design thought-out in my head, that turns out quite differently in reality!

I love the overall ruggedness of this necklace, and the very cool clasp.

Thanks so much for your comment. I am considering submitting another one of my designs using the pearls.
