Never seen chocolate jasper before. Thanks for opening my eye! Gorgeous combination!

I love the chocolate jasper, but I like this one, too: dragon's blood jasper, with pearls...

You should do a "show & tell" about Jasper varieties with us alongside the photos Linda

Blue tahitian pearls from CMW -- the bracelet sets are nice for wire link necklaces:

That wirewrapped tahitian necklace is amazing. I love blue tahitians

So pretty. Amethysts?

Yes, and clear quartz. It's hard to tell, but the clasp is amethyst, too.

 

[Charlotta]

Those amethysts are gorgeous, so clear. Very pretty.

Lovely, linda.wald, lovely.
Love that amethyst clasp too, would look great with some large SSP or keshis too.

Very nice necklace linda.wald
are these a recent Project of yours? Tell us about it!

 

[linda.wald]

Yes, I finished it a few days ago. The purple pearls are from Kong's Pearls, on Etsy and the pink ones are from Pacific Pearls. At first I wasn't sure I liked the very soft contrast, but it has grown on me. By the way, I had trouble uploading a picture since it exceeded the 2MB file size. I took a more distant photo, then cropped it, thus reducing the file size, and it worked this time.

 

[CortezPearls]

Thank you for letting me know of this issue Linda
It's just so odd! I changed all parameters to accept photos up to 1 Gb (yes, gigabytes!) so we would never have this issue and it happens yet again.
Will see if they are resetting themselves...thank you for letting me know!

The computer/server/cloud or whatever is clearly possesed CortezPearls. We might need to call an exorsist...it's evil
