Yet Another Sedona Stone


Green is the color of the day with the 4th piece for the Sedona collection. This variscite is such a lovely shade of green, it's hard to capture it's beauty on film (least with my camera and photography abilities). I teamed it with seed beads that are also a striking green color and some small silver beads. The pendant comes with a black ribbon clasp that's removable so you can either use it or another chain of your choosing.
Sure to make a great addition to your ever growing jewelry collection.
You may purchase this pendant at www.beadworksbykerri.etsy.com
Thank you!

Tigereye Beauties


Finally got another piece done from the Sedona beads I purchased while on vacation. Aren't these two of the prettiest tigereye pieces you've ever seen? Once I saw them done up I wish I'd have purchased more sets. The beadwork on these was a little tricky because of their shape, but it was well worth the effort.
Fortunately (or unfortunately if you fell in love with these earrings) this pair is already reserved for a regular customer and not for sale.
You can see other designs at my Etsy shop www.beadworksbykerri.etsy.com
Thanks for looking!!

Sedona, AZ Line of Jewelry

Here are the first two pieces of jewelry from my new line created with stones purchased while on vacation in Sedona, AZ. What a truly beautiful place with equally beautiful stones. These necklaces, along with other jewelry designs, can be found at http://www.beadworksbykerri.etsy.com/




This very earthy necklace features a faceted picture jasper teardrop pendant and Arizona turquoise chips. The turquoise chips have been dabbled with diamond shaped picture jasper to fuse the look and create an overall classy design.
The double strand necklace measures 16" and the teardrop measures 1 1/8" x 7/8". Strung with an antique brass toggle clasp.





Amber chips are combined with natural mother of pearl beads to showcase the brown agate pendant in this necklace.
The necklace itself measures 18" in length and the pendant is 1 3/8" x 7/8". Strung with an antique brass toggle clasp.








Hope you enjoy these designs. I'll be posting more as they are created.
Thank you for looking!
