If you need luck, several world cultures have believed at
one time or another that turquoise is the stone to give you good luck. I guess it’s more durable than a rabbit’s
foot and easier to get.
This week I made a necklace using turquoise, silver and
crystals. I took a traditional southwest look and gave it a little bling. The turquoise beads are round and are either
3mm or 5 mm, and then I put green crystal cube beads in-between and added some
silver saucer spacer beads. The focal
bead is about the size of a quarter and is the reason why I made the
necklace. I found the focal bead in NYC
at a bead store, then had to decide what I was going to make around it. It’s like buying the shoes before the dress,
but I really liked it and wanted to make something with it. The clasp has an interesting design on it and
is great because you can adjust the length of the necklace by moving the clasp
up or down on the chain that is on the opposite side of the clasp. At its shortest the necklace is 25 inches
long and can be extended approximately another inch and a half.
I hope you enjoy.
