My Favorite Things: Handcrafted Boho Necklace Trio

These are three necklaces that I made for myself a few years ago that I love to wear together... Choker length:  a strand of 8mm faceted Chalcedony...Medium length: a rosary-like chain of 5mm freshwater pearls with fine gauge sterling silver wire (I think I used 24 gauge wire)...and the rectangular pendant is Amazonite surrounded in fine silver wire wraps with a circular moon and star bead above it. I love them all.

What do you think?

Enjoy the rest of your week!

On My Workbench: Boho Amazonite Bracelet

A peek into my workshop...

Boho Amazonite Gemstone Bracelet

I was crazy about these small rectangular silver link findings and  faceted 
Amazonite rondelle beads. I love faceted rondelles!

I thought that together they'd make a nice combination. 
I like the way the blue-green Amazonite and the silver compliment each other. 

I decided to alternate them in a design and create a Boho style link bracelet. 

I cut 2" pieces of silver wire and using a simple wrapped loop technique, connected the beads and silver links together until I had the bracelet length that I wanted. 

Then I simply added a clasp, and it was finished!

I love the end result!
