All the components in this necklace just jumped out of the box! LOL It was one of those pieces that just came together without much pre-planning. Totally out-of-the-blue inspiration! The China Chrysocolla pendant, African Turquoise and Vintja stamped filigree are all from LB.
Components:
China Chrysocolla pendant, African Turquoise, Vintja stamped filigree, 18mm copper beads, copper beadcaps, copper chain and lobster claspAdditional Images:

Chippy Chick aka Lindys says:Thanks for the inspiring comments and compliments! I’ve been very busy the past few weeks with my daughter and granddaughters visiting. They recently have decided to move in with us temporarily and our son-in-law is driving from CA to join us. PJ lost his job last July and unemployment has run out. Job options in his field have been few. So I’ve been reorganizing the house to make room for them on a more permament basis. I had to move my bead area to make room for a play room, boy was that a job! So remember all my beading buddies I check in often to check out the design gallery and LB’s new goodies! Soon things will be back to more or less normal and I’ll have more time to chat!

I wish things like this would jump out at me. Beautiful. Hope things are going well with your son’s moving and I wish him loads of luck. Know you are busy but hope to see you off and on.
