The vast majority of my pieces are symmetrical and I wanted to experiment with an asymmetrical design. The large pendants are turquoise dyed jasper and the smaller round beads are amazonite separated with small silver-plated spacers and wire wrapped glass turqoise beads. The final bead dangling from the very bottom is a large, ornate silver-plated bead.
I've been designing jewelry as a hobby for about 5 years. As a working mother of two small children, I find beading to be a wonderful way to relax and stay creative. My grandmother designed jewelry in her retirement years and when she passed away, left me with a lovely collection of her beads, which I use in most of my pieces in some form or fashion. It makes the pieces that much more special to me.
