This piece was made with carved blue-topaz beads, 8mm glass pearls, and 14k gold 3mm beads. I made matching earrings with gold fishhooks and one each pearl, topaz, and gold. Christmas 2002

Amethyst
Necklace

What little girl wouldn't adore this necklace of real amethyst teardrop beads, 4mm freshwater rice pearls, and twisty silver beads? To top it off is a small starflower pendant. Matching earrings were a complete snap using basic fishhooks and two flower pendants. I also made a pair of matching amethyst earrings -- small and delicate enough for a little girl's ears.
