Hammer cut and nugget shaped faceted gemstones. That luxe mixed with rough is so beautiful.Ann Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911194722202501782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443605610590015121.post-80792481913090470562016-02-10T19:52:38.730+00:002016-02-10T19:52:38.730+00:00Hi Rebecca, I too love gemstones and have some str...Hi Rebecca, I too love gemstones and have some strands in my stash. I really, really adore your Fireflies bracelet, it is stunning. You have prompted me to rethink how I have organised my beads by material. I have some gemstone strands and tended to make special occasion/special gift jewellery and not mix them with glass, wood or art beads. The Iolite nuggets are simply stunning, I will be looking carefully for different shapes in the future instead of just buying rounds/rondelles. I too love Rutile Quartz and other colours of Quartz. Amazonite, Labradorite, Ametrine, Lapis Lazuli and the Jaspers are probably my favourites.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15985433900252831853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443605610590015121.post-40560533405271833032016-02-10T03:43:12.964+00:002016-02-10T03:43:12.964+00:00Both bracelets are so beautiful!

Just when I find favorites like Aquamarine, Moonstone and Laboradite (and oh, all those Jaspers),I discover Aventurine and then pearls call my name. There are so many wonderful discoveries in nature. I enjoyed your post!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321818207012570471noreply@blogger.com
