Peace and Love - Messages from a stone necklace
I love being inspired by one component of a design and starting the build from there.
The glass heart pendant started this design. The green in the glass was a perfect compliment to the sandy colors of the jasper beads. Jasper is the stone of gentleness and nurturing. It is said to bring joy. Why not pair it up with that heart, and wear your heart out for all to see and bring joy to those around you!
The little brass clasp with the peace symbol - didn't take much to push me in that direction :) Amethyst, fluorite, apatite and tourmalated rose quartz. Coupled with the lampwork heart - all speak peace.
I added the blue shell that I found on the beach as a personal touch, and now I am a bit torn about it...
Should I change it up?
Does it need a different focal?
Should I stop over analyzing it?
I love it just the way it is. Gorgeous colour combo on the second one and I love the clasp.
