A Love Affair with Agate!

I wanted to share with you a couple of this week's new creations mostly because the Agate stones in both pieces are just so darn beautiful!

'Mosiac'
How amazing in this piece of Blue Laguna Lace Agate?  I reworked the wire frame 3 times as the previous two I felt were too 'busy' and detracted from the stone - sometimes simple is best!

'Ravishing'

I don't know why this colour of Agate is called 'Peach' because it's so not!  More a Cerise or Hot Pink.  Those that read my recent macrame tutorial might recognise how I have made the wire bezel.

This Saturday I will be at Havelock North's Art and Craft Market in Village Court (9am-1pm).  Fingers crossed for good weather.  If you're local, do come along and say hi :)

Interesting jewellery fact of the week....  Agate was used in Egyptian rings and cameos over 3,000 years ago.   Can't argue with history!!
