Shades of Tourmaline

Watermelon Tourmaline gets its name from the many shades of pink and greens that this gem produces. Light hints of color blending makes this stone unique. I love how the green mixes in with the pink. I recently purchased a neatly arranged shaded watermelon strand, and I just was intimidated. How can I capture all of the shades in one jewelry piece? I measured, divided, ruler in hand. Scared to cut (because no matter how prepared I am beads have a mind of their own and like to fly) I gradually made my way to disassemble the strand and divided all of the tiny 3mm stones into color teams. This is what I came up with:



I made a 2" long bead. Making it the center of attention, I wired in loose silver chain and made it a necklace:

Very dainty, light and colorful. Perfect for spring! Find this piece at www.jeweltrinkets.etsy.com.

Fresh off the Bench! Green Rocks!!

Green does rock? Don't you agree? Three shades of green gathered together in a shade effect, a little pop of light here and there, not to flashy, but yet would go great with your spring attire!

But wait!! This comes as a set, with earrings and a bracelet to match!

Green candy for your ears...



...and your wrist!
