Philosopher's Stone Copper Necklace
With this necklace I finally found copper rondelle spacers and beads, and paired them with my one of my favorite pearls, these coppery peacock pearls (a few of them have a touch of green to them which looks great now, and will be perfect if the copper ever oxidizes). The decorative copper toggle clasp makes a great focal point, or can be worn as usual behind the neck for an elegant and almost formal look.

Silver Dipped Rose Leaf Necklace
This is a fairly long necklace made with Labradorite (one of my favorite gems), silver freshwater pearls, sterling silver tubes and seed beads. Whoever came up with the idea of taking dried leaves and electroforming them with precious metals should be commended. It's absolutely gorgeous, especially in person where you can really make out every vein in the leaf. And strong!
