I finally made this pendant – just in time for my Sunday Art and Craft Show at JCC of Greater Washington. Show was a success, it was a lot of interest, many people stopped by. Almost everybody paid special attention to this pendant.
I will definately make more pendants like that – with different jemstones.

Here what heavenandearthjewelry writes about green garnet:
“Green Garnet is a gemstone, which may belong to one of several branches of the garnet family– grossular, demantoid or uvarovite. Garnets‘ hardness ranges from 6 to 7.5, and the specimen on this card comes from Mali, Africa.
Mystic Lore: Intuitive sources say that Green Garnet is a powerful aid to the manifestation of prosperity and abundance in all earthly endeavors. It is said to be a ‘gemstone of good fortune‘ in matters of money. Green Garnet is also said to activate the heart Chakra, awakening compassion & charity. ”

Once upon the time I walked in to a treasure cove – a small bead store that was hiding at the back of small shopping center. For next few months I was there almost every day, right after work I was driving there and I was immersing myself in a world of wonderful gemstones. Most of beads were fro India – hand-faceted, covering walls with cascades of colorful sparkling gems. But I discovered something even better! Owner had a big quantity of broken strands that he stored in a huge basin. “Help yourself,” he said. “Put aside whatever you find – and I will give you a good price.” It was real treasure hunt!
One of my great finds there was handful of green garnet beads.
Here is my experiment with green garnet pendant. I decided to put it on a strand of tiny Peridot beads in combination with gold Vermeil.
Here some pictures of this work in progress:

Very nice materilas are used in this necklace – natiral Keishi pearls with faceted Smoky Quartz rondells. Center peace is formed by large Smoky Quartz teardrop bead and 18K Gold vermeil spacers. This is going to be a real gem in SilverFrogJerelry’s wedding collection.

Handmade wirewrapped in sterling silver
Another creation for your review – “THERE IS LOVE” pendant. I used silver wire to combine faceted turquoise, green jade, smoky quartz and faceted heart-shaped garnet – all caught inside hammered free-shaped sterling silver circle. This shape reminds me a cloud. But even in most cloudy day we must remember that there is love in our lives!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turquoise bead is nicely faceted and polished and about 28mm long.
Jade is 4 mm round bead that is not faceted.
Smoky quarts is 8mm faceted round bead.
Genuine Garnet is faceted heart shaped – is about 7-8mm.
Silver free-form circle is large – it’s more then 2 inches long in longest dimension.

December has been busy as it could be. Between my job (full time computer geek!), my family life, my pets, my active social life – I did manage to design couple of new things!
First creation that I would like to talk about – SUMMER RAIN pendant.
You can view full description at http://www.smashingdarling.com/item/summer-rain-pendant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Summer rains are light and bright, nothing heavy about them, nothing sad. I had that perfect summer rain in my mind while designing and making this pendant. I used very light aquamarine oval beads and one single aqua chalcedony briolette. All raindrops are suspended from hand hammered silver cloud (Thai sterling silver free-form circle) by sterling silver wires of various length
