Very attractive jewelry, ohsoap! I too love beads, gemstones, rocks.....but I seldom wear jewelry anymore (old lady now)
I've been making 'tree hangers' which I let dangle from our many trees outside, and sometimes from the window curtain rods. I love how the sun catches the beads, stones or tiny mirrors and sends sparkles of color across the landscape, especially in our cold, grey, snowy winters.
