Sharing some of my work I was very disappointed with, but customer was thrilled. Duplicate photos and description from another thread.
Very picky customer, but she is a friend of mine. She selected the specific Amethyst crystal to remove from my large rock. Also said specifically how to do the wrap, and to leave the crystal as is, no treatments of any kind. Also went through the 100+ pieces of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise I have and selected 2 of them for focal beads. She picked one that was cracked, but I reinforced it.
Now for the fun part. I had to do a cleansing ceremony with a cluster of Citrine crystals I have on all components of the necklace and tools used to make it. After it was finished I had to do two other blessing and energy gathering ceremonies.
I made the smaller Amethyst beads long ago. Shaped, polished and drilled. Have no idea how id did it. Severe brain damage does that to a person, erases memories on how to do things.
I was very unhappy how the wrap turned out, but it was what she wanted. Paid me above our agreed price. Also ordered 4 more necklaces that will be a lot easier to make. Plus I have a month to make them, opposed to the 2 days for this "emergency" one. Most of my work looks a while lot better than this.

Know this looks very amateur compared to a lot of stuff here, but some were asking for examples of my work. Hoping to be able to purchase a .
