Big Chunks of Turquoise and Copper Necklace!


This is actually a remake of a necklace that I had listed on Etsy but I just was not all that wild about the original. Now, I love this necklace!

This necklace is made with copper conchos, huge turquoise nuggets and copper wire wrapping! This necklace measures 32 inches in length!

If you want to get more views and details you can go to my Etsy shop!

I hope you like it as much as I do!

Damaged Components, What To Do?


I was gifted with a large turquoise focal bead, unfortunately there was a visible crack on one side. However, I loved it even more because I thought no one else would. So, I embellished it by wrapping a copper stamping from top to bottom and I wanted the "crack" to show. Then I added two strands of turquoise nuggets and two strands of turquoise rondelles.

I liked it but it just needed something...then I remembered another necklace in my jewelry chest! The second necklace is made with bright orange seed beads, glass stones in different colors and a rescued focal bead. I layered them together and then it was perfect! I love this necklace and I wear it often.

What do you do with "damaged" art components?

Thank you for stopping by!
