More Stuff From the Stash
About this design:
Apparently I've been hiding turquoise and turquoise alternative beads in the stash. Two of these necklaces are made with rustic turquoise nuggets and the other from turquoise colored magnesite. The larger nugget necklace was completely finished when I found it and the one with just three nuggets was made from scratch with nuggets I found in the stash. The colored magnesite was half finished with the beads strung on a piece of wire. I restrung it on a section of necklace memory wire and added a chain. The stash has proven to be a treasure trove.
Components:
turquoise nuggets, magnesite beads, silver barrel spacers, oxidized brass lantern spacers, 6mm copper beads, various metal clasps, brass, copper and steel chainAdditional Images:

Granny Nancy says:I do love turquoise and turquoise magnesite and anything colored turquoise. Love the first necklace the most. But you certainly did find a treasure trove with all that. It surely is fun to find these precious items isn’t it!

K Ralston says:I love these big turquoise stones. I agree with Granny Nancy. I like the first necklace the best. But all are pretty. Pouring through the stash is fun.

Beady Little Eyes says:Beautiful necklaces. Is that an owl I spot on the middle one? So cute. I think that’s my favorite. Simple and fun.

kye says:You make me want to go through my stash too. You’ve certainly created some beauties. I’d probably wear the middle necklace the most. I’ve been getting into more simple designs lately. Plus that little owl is so cute!

dolllady aka Pam says:I agree with some of the others, the first one and last one are my favorites. The second one is very pretty also.

Robin nursechick says:LRC, these are all so pretty- I like the second one with owl-perfect for casual wear-which is what I always wear. The last one is my favorite- it’s strong and a beautiful statement necklace. The first one is awesome too- I just noticed the chain around the back- I like that. I would wear that to church ( with my dress casual hahaha). Love all three!
