It was a tough call, but I think this one’s my favourite.
I got the tigerseye on a whim at the local bead shop — I’d stumbled on a trunk sale and couldn’t resist it. It begged for green and I had the green coral at hand. The silver seed beads made the perfect highlight but it needed just that touch more — coral to the rescue, with the browny-gold that complements and almost matches the tigerseye.
The drop in front is the perfect ‘here, look at my cleavage’ length and I added a handmade clasp that finishes it off perfectly.
Lovely work, Kate!
Tiger-eye, green, and silver – three of my favourite things. This is an excellent piece.
“Cleavage not included.”
It’s beautiful and well-balanced, isn’t it?
Thanks for posting me! I had a lot of fun making this, and I’ve been having a lot of fun going to look at what everyone else is making too.
And thank you both for the kind compliments!

You’re absoulty right your choice of color is striking
‘here, look at my cleavage’ length. I love this line!! And I love necklaces that fall in just the right spot. Very nice job.
Yes, but subtle, not trashy! I love pendant-style necklaces like this one
I see you’ve got some like that on your blog, Teresa. You should send me a picture!
I am obsessed with brown and green is one of my favorite colors so I think this is a wonderful combination!
When I click on the blog link it says-blog not found! Then it says the name IS available to register!
Carol, Teresa, thank you! And I agree with Cyndi — Teresa, send your stuff in!
Jill, thank you as well! And the blog — that’s because I was a BIG DORK and put blogspot instead of wordpress. The proper link is http://omshantihandcrafts.wordpress.com — thank you!
Oh shoot! No problem…I’ll fix it for you up above!
Oh, bless you!
