Two of a Kind
About this design:
Special order for two wonderful gals. Just before Mothers day I was in a local clothing store that I frequent regularly and I stated that I would have to make a new necklace to wear with the top I had just purchased and the Manager of the store asked "Do you make Jewelry?" I said yes and she told me she was looking for something in turquoise, could I make something for her. I did and took it in and another employee liked it so much that she bought it on the spot for her mother. So then I made another one similar for the manager. We were all happy how they turned out.
Components:
Turquoise Magnesite nuggets,and chip beads. Silver plated coin and rounds ending with a silver plated toggleAdditional Images:

Truckin Grandma Karen says:I absoloutly love both necklaces. When they ask for turk do you give them an alternative to lower cost and then let them pick real or subsitute?
Again love this my kind of big style.

Rocky D says:Truckin Grandma Karen, I just made up some samples and they picked what they liked. I had some of both, but they picked the less costly ones. Thanks so much for the compliments.
