Well i'm still running rather behind on my challenge, but here's my latest update - with this gorgeous deep chocolatey red necklace. Made from a combination of flat oval Brecciated Jasper beads, smaller round Garnet beads and a mixture of black glass beads.this necklace is extra long, so no clasp is needed. It is strung on a black tigertail (flexible beading wire) and is on two rows, which creates the unusual style. Jasper is a beautiful and varied opaque gemstone, coming in a wide variety of colours and styles, often incorporating beautiful patterns and banding within the stones. I particularly like this type of Jasper because of it's warm colour and love the combination with the subtle deep dark red Garnets and the mixture of black glass to add a further contrast in shape and texture. |
