Twas the night before Stitches

And I have a finished necklace:

Chrysanthemum Stone necklace

It started with the setting. I didn't intend to set it using purple beads for the bezel but it worked out that way. Then, it started to take on a life and theme of its own. Wine! Grapes! Harvest! And this is what I came out with. Lots of fringe, a peyote strap. The portion with the stone and fringe is a lot heavier than I had expected but it certainly captures the theme well, dontcha think?

  1. It's beautiful, I love the colors. Makes me think of harvest and wine, or maybe drinking wine during harvest.
