Medieval Momma says:This is so pretty. Is this what you’ve decided to do with your PH rose? It would be a knock out!

dolllady aka Pam says:I have a strand of the copper green opal beads on the way. I do have some poppy jasper here and several strands of Russian serpentine I made many years ago that could stand a repurpose. When the copper green opal comes I’ll decide what else I want with it. I’m thinking rutilated copper, green poppy jasper and green pyrite. We’ll see soon though.

Granny Nancy says:Wow Pam, what a gorgeous pick. I adore rutilated quartz but don’t have any in my stash of gems. Your coordination of color and the right gems is awesome. But I’m trying to downsize except for special gifts with Christmas coming up and birthdays. But if this becomes a POD, I might be just a little bit “bad.”

S KatollakaSue says:It absolutely would be a knockout with your rose. I can see why you wanted to take another look – all the gorgeous new gems just in! First time I’ve seen unakite here. I have a lot of it, it could be either wonderful or not with the rose. Lots of variation there. In any case, you’ve picked some winners, and I hope it…you know what!

dolllady aka Pam says:With the last summer sale this week, I was bad and bought some of the beads in the pick. I already have some unakite, but LB’s looks a little darker “pink” than I have. I’m afraid I was a bad girl and even had to purge some beads from my bag. Bologna sandwiches this week!
