Going Green... with Tourmaline!
Ah yes, it's that time of the year again isn't it? Everything just seems green this weekend! Just finished these beads and necklace made with sterling silver and graduated green tourmalines. I've had a strand of watermelon colored tourmaline rondelles for some time. I have used some of the stones on various projects in the past. I decided to sort through all the beads and go from really dark green to the lighter green. I made the sterling wrap beads and then assembled the components for the necklace. You could thread something like this, but it's more secure this way. I have some other ideas for these beads and sure I will have some more pieces together soon.

About Me
- wearartbyjulie
- I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
