Gemstone chip earrings
What can you do with a lot of gemstone chips lying about? I bought a lot of these chip strings as I used them for my tree of life pendants, but I never seem to use all the chips ever. I have most of them sitting in this nice box just tucked away in my …
Tiger eye – “Mars”
I wrapped a large tiger eye cabochon with copper wire recently! The shape was quite unusual, so I ran the wire all the way around and sideways as well. I added some topaz Swarovski crystals and wrapped the wire ends around the frame. Sorry there's not much to say with this post! I just kind …

This version uses blue goldstone - a red goldstone is just as common and has flecks of copper. Some people like to call it 'starstone' instead. I think I get it - the …
Carnelian – “Red sky”
Carnelian cabochon wrapped with copper wire
Serpentine – “Still Waters”
I made a pendant with serpentine previously - see here! I actually got this cabochon as a gift without being told what it could be (people know I like my gemstones!) so I guessed that it could be serpentine. If someone could tell me otherwise, that would be great! This pendant is named for the …
