Gosh, so many new posts to catch up on! haha. Gorgeous gorgeous pieces everyone!
Lots Love your stormy bangle is making me wanna get one too!
Junkenpo, very interesting article thanks for sharing! I'm wondering about that too, with Jade do we have to do any special waxing/maintenance? I've never heard of it before.

Thanks, Molly! LOL, that is exactly and I mean EXACTLY what I planned to wear it with - a black sweaterdress and knee high black lace up boots and my batty bangle, Rhiannon. There are other things I could wear it with, but that is what I envisioned. Funny!

Here are those back lit photos of my earrings I was talking about awhile back... not quite the best, but I like how you can see the color creep from the darker minerals to the white.
And in low day light
Agree. Those earrings are the bomb!
crosso, the dragon doughnut looks very nice with the little red pop of color and I love rhiannon. i like how fluid the carving is!
Thanks for the compliments on the earrings, all. Those were meant-to-be ones, I think. I'm glad to have them.

Thank u so much I know it's very special unique bangle [emoji300]️[emoji170][emoji300]️[emoji170]
hi, crosso
i think the cinnabar bead is perfect for the pendant since its also carved. but i think too much seed beads in between the jade beads kind of make the necklace looks not balanced, since the pendant is huge.hi, crosso
Yes, I can see that now. So more jadeite beads you think? Or some other kind of larger bead?
maybe try to have a few onyx rondelles between each jadeite bead and not use seed beads at all? what do u think?

Yes, I will have to try some different combos. Thanks for all the feedback, everyone!
Aww, thanks, Molly! I will look at other options, because I do see the lack of 'balance' in it - but when I wear it, I like it. Even though the pi is heavy, I didn't want anything really chunky, so we'll see. Part of the fun of making your own jewelry is you can change it anytime!
