BW--that s a great pendant! Love the druzy and it is so artistic.

Sanippy--true blues are so rare and that one is absolutely spectacular!!
 
I have been working on this awhile. These are 2-3mm rainbow sapphires with Chinese iridescent FWP (from Kongs Pearls). The fun part was finding pearls that had color overtones to blend with the sapphires. I made it 40" and claspless so I could double it over my head and could rotate any which way.IMG_1482.jpgIMG_1484.jpgIMG_1483.jpgIMG_1485.jpgIMG_1487.jpgIMG_1486.jpg
 
How lovely, Pearly-Whites! I can see how that would be fun to make. You may have mentioned this elsewhere; where did you get the rainbow sapphires?
 
Very unique pendant and perfect for hot sweaty days, BW!

Sanippy, the classic pearl looks great on you!

PW, very colorful and fun necklace. I bet you wear it often!
 
Well that's fun and colourful !! It looks great !! Yes I was going to ask if they are crimp covers.

JP I've seen a gold bead at the end of your gemstone necklaces, do you use the round crimp covers or is it to hide a thread knot .. do you not use wire at all? I always used fine wire with the fine beads as I was worried about them cutting through thread .. though Power Pro would probably be ok ..

There are just some random gold and silver beads here and there. No crimping as rather than using bead wire, I strung this one on Power Pro and knotted and glued the end. It has no clasp. Once again, my photography doesn't capture the colors. I am also finding that I like random placement, rather than symmetrical and even distribution of the pearls. I just find it more interesting.
