Not the first one I've made, but the first one this year, and the first one I actually feel attached to enough to wear rather than sell it. Yay :D

It's lovely :)

, that's really neat! What materials did you use?

@Cresenta Thank you!! :D

Thanks :) it's made from mostly ceramic beads, a few Czech Glass beads, some Aventurine stones, and gold plated beads and chain to hold it all together :)

It's beautiful! Do you do beading often??

Aw thank you :) Yes I do, I do it to relax, but I can't do it for too long at a time because I have joint problems in my wrists which cause me pain. But when I'm pain-free I like to sit and bead for a while, it's really calming, and I love having unique jewelry :D Have you ever tried beading?

Ooh I see! Beading is super calming yet productive. I used todo it a lot when I was younger. I mainly made necklaces but I did a few bracelets as well. c: What's your favorite thing to bead?

Nice, how come you stopped doing it? I really like doing necklaces and earrings, mostly because those are the main types of jewelry I wear. I love the symmetry of necklaces, and bracelets too I guess but I'm not that keen on wearing bracelets. And I made a couple of bag charms/keyrings a while ago.

I just got out of the habit, and the bead store that I used to frequent ended up closing :( It's a hobby I need to take up again. Ooh cool. I've always wanted to bead keychains and charms. I p much solely beaded necklaces, but I've done one or two bracelets.

I really love the color combination you used with the beads. It looks very earthy. :)

it's lovely C:

Thank you! That's definitely the vibe I was aiming for :) Earthy jewelry is my favourite.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I love the colors you used in it!

it's so pretty!!!! i love it!!!

That's really pretty. Have you sold any online before? I like the earthy feel of this one a lot. It makes me feel calm. :)

thanks a lot both of you :) I really appreciate it!!

thank you! It's such a nice necklace to wear, it goes with a lot of my outfits. I haven't actually sold online before, only to friends and people in my local area. I'm really slow at making jewelry tbh! So slow, and I think it'd be hard to keep an online shop going haha

Also, I noticed the quote in your signature - Cloud Atlas is my favourite book of all time! I love it so. It's nice to come across another fan :)

Just stumbled across this topic. Lovely necklace.

I understand it being time consuming. I've thought about an etsy before too, but I think it's also just a lot of work itself. I don't want to be at the post office all the time! :) I love Cloud Atlas. It had a lot of good quotes, but I also just love how different it is!

Wow this is so pretty - Love the colors and the details, looks really delicate :3

I love the colours, it's stunning! ^.^
