After I have completed the multi-green cluster
earrings (shown in my previous post) I've realized that I could make a matching
necklace from the leftover beads and more over I could make it long. My initial intention was to combine short lengths of each type of bead
(photo 1). But it didn’t work well with the earrings. Eventually I left half of
the necklace with the original design yet for the other half I strung the beads
each one from a different type in a random order (photo 2). When folded in two
the differences between the design of the two halves is emphasized (photo 3). Now
I really like the interaction between the earrings and the necklace (photo 4). For
both, the earrings and the necklace, I have used: Peridot (bright olive green),
Green onyx (bottle green), Apatite (blue-green), Green amethyst (gray-green),
Serpentine (light olive green). The clasp is made of 14K gold.
