The Hanging Pendant

Big thanks to everyone who came to see us today! 🥰 It was great seeing/meeting you! 🤩 Have a blessed week!😇 Side note, those that know me know I love stones. So, I got this years ago, but never knew what 'else' it was. Came across this while going through a box of stuff I'd set aside as 'unknowns'... it happens. 🙃 I've known it was Calcite for years but recent curiousity has found fluorite on the piece too. Those purple cubes are small, 2-4mm small. Awesome!!! 🙃😂 (at Conroe, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb4E63aOrNJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Aliens have abducted an Earthling this time! Watch out, could be you next time! 😉 Come see him today at the Fist Saturday Arts Market and see what has become of him since. #thehangingpendant #beyounique #jewelry #sterlingsilver #pendant #1stsatartmarket #houstonartscene #thingstodoinhouston #houstonevents #houstonartmarket #artmarket #shopsmall (at First Saturday Arts Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb2XpxLujK3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Working hard to get the website switched around. Two screens are always better than one. If I had the internet I'd be able to add pics at the same time.😒 That will have to wait for the even slower internet times.😏 If you've noticed things disappearing and you wanted it, hit me up. Its just me and technology fighting again most likely. Lol. 😘 Have a great day! #thehangingpendant #beyounique #jewelry #sterlingsilver #pendant #1stsatartmarket #houstonartscene #thingstodoinhouston #houstonevents #houstonartmarket #artmarket #shopsmall (at Conroe, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaVRKOYPCBH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Okay, I have a thing for Lepidolite. Its part of the mica group. Okay, okay, this thing also includes the rest of the group. Really, check it out if you want. Mindat has great intel and images. So, I sliced out the rest of the 'book'. I was able to achieve three really good slices before it fell short, but that piece might be useful so it was included in the pictures with it rounded off with a pair of scissors. The longer blade goes to something, but I no longer have the tool. Had that blade though, hehe. 🙃😉🤣 (at Conroe, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZvcbhltoST/?utm_medium=tumblr

Gotta love those crafters! This was in the clay tools. Will split another when I get another moment to pull it out again. #thehangingpendant #beyounique #jewelry #sterlingsilver #pendant #1stsatartmarket #houstonartscene #thingstodoinhouston #houstonevents #houstonartmarket #artmarket #shopsmall (at Conroe, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZsaSp9P5AF/?utm_medium=tumblr

A nice successful slice off the piece of layered lepidolite I have sitting on my table beside. I need a thinner, longer blade for my bigger mica book... if I can find it. I put it aomewhere in a box... That's all I can recall at the moment. Find the blade and I will have good reason for digging... LOL 😆 BTW that slice is approximately 0.40mm thick next to its family of, now, 4.31mm thick. I can see the physical layers on the side. Those of you who know what I'm talking about understand the coolness of this, but some won't. Mica is very brittle at the edges, makes great glitter! However, I'm going for a sheet. Not that thin, but this was a side cut where previous fractures had made this a smaller sheet. The cool part was not having it break! 🤣 It's the little things... 🥰😍 #thehangingpendant #beyounique #jewelry #sterlingsilver #pendant #1stsatartmarket #houstonartscene #thingstodoinhouston #houstonevents #houstonartmarket #artmarket #shopsmall (at Conroe, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZsThloPgZI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Remember this one? Done! Love how it turned out! Amazonite is a lovely stone of the microcline family and a delight to work with. The beads in the necklace are all microcline as well, showing you the varying shades that can be found in the surrounding rock. Wrapped in silver plated wire from pendant to clasp. $70 (local pickup) $80 (priority ship) (at Conroe, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYoXiXerg94/?utm_medium=tumblr

This really cute Amethyst heart just could not wait. Had to interrupt the Carnelian Adventure to be done. Its like that with stones sometimes. Amethyst Z heart is wrapped in Sterling Silver and is barely over 1.5 inches long. $45 (local) $55 (priority ship) (at Conroe, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYRRv2irIDo/?utm_medium=tumblr

So, remeber this one? Done. It went from just a pendant to WHAM full blown necklace. I was originally going to do it in silver, but gold has been so appealing of late. This all because I was asked to work some goldfilled pieces a bit back. This is done using non-tarnish brass with minute stones along the top of the slice of Carnelian Agate. Malachite, Tiger Eye, Garnet, Carnelian and a green Moss Agate woven in among the coils there. It's all Carnelian up the chained nexklace to the hook clasp. Stretches out to 17.75 inches on the table but wears more like a 16.5 or so. $110, local $120, priority shipping. Gonna call this one Carnelian Adventure. 🙂 #thehangingpendant #beyounique #jewelry #sterlingsilver #carnelian #agate #necklace #1stsatartmarket #houstonartscene #thingstodoinhouston #houstonevents #houstonartmarket #artmarket #shopsmall (at Conroe, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYQAdGyN3F3/?utm_medium=tumblr
