Hematite set.


I was working with some memory wire I picked up at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show, and realized hematite may not be the best beads to use. They are danged heavy. I didn't want to use a clasp with the memory wire, but I liked how it kept the nice round shape for a choker.

So I cut it another round longer and added some chain with a few more beads attached. Problem solved! And the best part? the choker is totally adjustable to ANY size neck. I also like how the chain and beads give it a little extra focal point.

I also made earrings, a ring and bracelet to go with it. I'd post pictures of the bracelet and ring on me, but realized the picture looks AWFUL. So I'll just post a picture of the set.
