I really got into turquoise after a trip out west. So, of course I can't really find GOOD turquoise here-out east....so when I find something close, I have to buy it. Here, I combined some really rugged turquoise with some really smooth garnet ovals. The contrasting shapes ended up really cool together. 
One day, I found a lot of 'extra' pieces of silver chain. Not enough to make a full necklace for an adult (maybe a Barbie....but we don't have those in our house. yet.) So I connected all of the little pieces to make a full-sized necklace and added the sparkly Swarovski crystals. It's NOT symmetrical which I love (yet others even more analytical than I said they could never wear it for that reason!) I like to wear it really low when I've got my sexy wrap shirts on.......or I can adjust it up closer to neck, when I'm in a button-down shirt and don't necessarily want to draw attention. (work. conservative. )
Another one of my buys where I had NO IDEA what I was going to do with it. Strawberry quartz is the pinkish/red square stone. Doesn't it look like candy? Okay, I love candy so alot of my comparisons may end up being a reference to it. Anyway, I had some little pink pearls leftover from another buying frenzy and thought they looked good together.
I'm really into green this summer. These are big, healthy chunks of vassonite. The necklace is heavy - but it's a good heavy!
This is probably one of my favorite pieces. The amber is from Armenia. I've got a 'connection' that brought this back for me...but now that I love it, I have to wait for her to go back to Armenia to get more amber!
