Ocean Jasper Tears
About this design:
I had the small faceted teardrops on my table just staring at me. I wanted to find a pendant of similiar shape and I cannot believe my idea came to life. Thanks to my hubby for finding this wonderful pendant. I forgot to bring the beads with me, so I described what I was looking for and he went out on his mission! Mission Accomplished :)
Components:
Ocean Jasper, Sterling Silver and more faceted Ocean Jasper!Read the comments (or add your own)

Natures Precious Gems says:Thank you ladies, yes I feel very lucky to have such a supportive and great hubby
For my recent birthday….35th, he had 35 red roses delivered to my office. I felt like a queen for the day, my coworkers made me a sash out of calculator tape, and a crown out of a paper plate! We all enjoyed my birthday. It was completely unexpected. Those are the best surprises.

This is certainly a gorgeous set…I love ocean jasper, and this creation is divine!
