Thank you so much, Baghera! I have not made much jewelry before, but I'm finding that I enjoy it. One more creation today, made from the leftover beads from the nephrite/lapis necklace:

Awww you are such a sweetie! Thank you Crosso. Allan is such a magician with jades, such an artist. He created another masterpiece. I really LOVE this piece, it is the most beautiful green I have seen in nephrites. I am so grateful to him. Thank you so much for your compliment. By the way, you are quite the artist yourself. I love your jewelry making skills. Kudos to you!

Thanks for the comps, JKP and Silver Mom!
JKP, Iroh and the new ring really are a perfect match! So beautiful, well done!
I fear Jade4Me was right, jewelry making is addictive! Now that I learned a few techniques and have the findings, there is no stopping me from somehow utilizing every single little piece of jade I have and tailoring the pieces that were not quite right for me. Since I shortened several necklaces, I now have a few more beads to play with. This is the last one for the weekend, it's kind of 1920s 'flapper'-ish, I think.
