here are a few more i made over the weekend, this first one i don't know the stone, it is a bit dark and hard to photograph, but it's very pretty, looks like a little waterfall, these are Druk glass beads, not hematite:  tried to get the stone, doesn't do it justice:  here is another little mex lace number, the white beads are malaysian jade with little seed beads and a few crystals thrown in:  love the stone:  here is a grey mexican lace, i made one similar to this a while back, that one is on it's way to Japan as a christmas present, so i felt i could make one similar:   this is some sort of picture jasper, didn't shine well, but a pretty stone, i used a few shells, gold beads and some of that river stone in this one:   i'm cheating here, this one doesn't have any tumbled stones in it, but i noticed the other day when i sold a few items, the men go for the rocks, the women tend to like the "traditional" stuff, so i have to keep a balance, even though i think the items with rocks are superior to just plain beads....   ok, back to my sweatshop....thanks for looking!

Beautiful KD! What gauge is the wire you use for
attaching the stones? I really like the way you do that
and put a bead over it.

KD, you are indeed a jewelry making machine! Sheesh you can turn 'em out! And they are fabulous! They are all beautiful - but I LOVE that first one!
the jasper looks like some kind of picture jasper to me - but, then, what do I know? I am sure not the champion of rock IDing! ;D What ever it is, it's pretty!

Those stones just look fabulous. I just don't see great natural stone jewelry like this anywhere around, you have to think it will catch a lot of interest.
