“Metropole”

   

Description from Luna Chick aka Coral: This was inspired by Blooming Ideas' pick Lost at Sea. She finally helped me see how to use the bloodstone (which is now out of stock).

    Loving the gun metal accents! Happy to inspire as you have done the same. Similar yet different. Love your choices. And I’m Lovin’ that KP leaf! Maybe we’ll get out hands on the bloodstone when it get’s back in stock. Excellent pick, Coral!

    Very nice, Coral!! I was also inspired by B.I. to attempt something with that stone but I am still leery of what colors actually show up on the string you buy. Any body know how dependable the colors are on this?

    Luna Chick: Bloodstone is such a nice gemstone to work with. I am a big Agate and Jasper fan too. I like this pick very much.

    Terrific pick! The garnet looks great with the jasper but even better with the bloodstone. Then you had to throw in some oxblood just to prove your point! I think most of us would have gone with greens but the garnet is so much more striking!!! :)
