Trendy Basics

I love making so many different types of jewelry it is sometimes difficult for me to decide what I want to make. New ideas are constantly floating around in my head. The biggest problem is that I only have two hands! I try to make pieces that are elegant, but that also have a detail that makes the piece interesting and provides a clue to the personality of the woman wearing the jewelry. My newest necklace and earring set, Catalina, is a cool double strand necklace with lapis lazuli chips and lemon chrysoprase smooth coins. I cannot decide if the lemon chrysoprase looks more lemon or more lime. The chrysoprase adds an interesting dimension to the necklace because the color is unexpected. Unexpected color is cool.
