Gemstone Drop Collection
Last month my hubby and I took a day trip to the Rosemont Gem Show in Chicago. It was a great day, a small break from kids, time with Mike and a show of beads, gems and jewelry! I dunno if Mike had as much of a blast as I did.. but he was a great help and always willing to carry stuff! I came back with so many gorgeous stone beads and gems to play with! I decided that just start simple. I created these minimal single stone drops wired with 14K gold filled wire. You choose your stones, choose your hooks! If you already have hoops then you can purchase just the charms to add to your own!
When I first started making jewelry
I was a beader, so it has been fun to just play with beads and get back to the love of stones in stacks, stings and wrapped together. I also love how each stone has a meaning and their own properties further than their color and flash! Stones in this Drop Collection include:
Tourmilated Quartz
