Letter G: Gemstones

This post is linked to:

Blogging for Fun, hosted by Melissa

and

Color Carnival

a Friday meme hosted by Martha.

I was in one of my photo adventures and I happen to see this window display in one of the malls. They are beautiful alright, and expensive too. Of course, it is made by the famous Lalique.

However, I am quite satisfied with my hand made bead necklace done a long time ago, sometime in 2000. I work in downtown Los Angeles financial district, a few blocks to the Jewelry Mart. You can find everything wholesale or retail.

Hand Made Necklace

I am not an expert, but the pendant is glass with pressed green leaves inside. Sorry, the shot is not focused on pendant.

That was one of my hobbies before, and since I got hooked to blogging, I have set aside my crochet projects, too.

Happy Friday everyone and enjoy the weekend!

    Beautiful sparkles, I adore the little butterfly earrings. All the pieces are beautiful but the necklace you made is the best. The pendant is so pretty, I love green. Wonderful shots.

    I start running out of adjectives every time I visit your blog, lol.
