Rainbow Quartz Necklace CELINA
Rainbow Quartz Necklace and Earrings
The four colors in this Rainbow Quartz necklace required a simple design. The ovals are interspersed with small round Rainbow Quartz beads in the same colors and tiny seed beads in a yellow-green color, both being used for contrast. I added a few pale aqua Swarovski crystals to add sparkle. This is a great daytime necklace—very simple and very wearable—and is very light for its length. The lead-free toggle clasp is by TierraCast, as well as the small fern frond charm at the toggle end. The earrings have aqua Rainbow Quartz stones and sterling silver posts.

Raku and wood Necklace FERN
Raku and Wood Bead Necklace and earrings
Here's a necklace to wear with a casual outfit. It's strung on black leather cord and contains green Raku and wood beads in contrasting colors. The pendant is probably a jasper/chalcedony stone and has green markings on a yellow-green background—very unusual. Actually, the markings look like a Japanese painting of pines on a hillside. The closure is sterling silver.
