Black Lariat

I wanted something simple, that was both long and a choker.  I had seen this look in magasines, and set about trying to find the appropriate pendants for the ends.  I chose a moon on one end and a series of stars on the other.   It is approximately 58" long.

Red Jasper Multi-strand Necklace

I loved the brick colour of this jasper.  I put three strands of 8mm beads and three strands of 10mm disks into this necklace.  I usually twist the strands together as I clasp it.  Twisted, it is about 22" long.

The earrings are pretty simple.  I just threaded the beads onto a circular earring form.

Multi-Strand Seed Beads

I got the idea to make this necklace long before I had a bead spinner.  I must confess, it took a very long time.  But, I am very pleased with the result.  It goes with a lot of outfits, and is an understated statement piece.

It is approximately 24 " long.  It has 6 green, 5 red, 4 orange, 4 blue, 2 turquoise and 2 brown strands.
