Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Hmmmmmmm They remind me of porcelain jasper. Any other “experts” want to chime in?
This is a beautiful design and color combo, Wendy! Both the necklace and bracelet are terrific! Do you make earrings, too?

Froggy Chick aka Wendy F says:Yes, I made earrings too, but not until after I took the photos. I still have to get pics of the earrings!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I was just curious, because I’m always making earrings to go with everything I make — sometimes more than one pair! LOL

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Me, too!! LOL Love earrings!
This is very pretty ! I’m guessing a jasper for the stone, but not sure what kind.

Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Not sure what the stone is, but it is lovely! If my lbs cant identifuy it, I dont buy it. I make them put it aside & find out what it is, then when I come back I can decide if I want it or not. I always have to know what I am working with so I can inform my customers.

Froggy Chick aka Wendy F says:I’m not sure why the bead store doesn’t label their gemstones. I have asked them in the past…they still don’t!
On Nov 18, 2009 at 8:01 pm #
Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Oh, I am sorry they don’t cooperate with you! They should label their stones! Otherwise how can you know what you have?

Little Round Chick says:Color wise it looks like brown snowflake jasper but pattern wise it looks like ….JASPER?
When you take pictures of the earrings could you give us a really close-up shot?
BTW great design.
