Elaine and I were at Starbucks a couple of weeks ago and I decided to make a pair of cascade type earrings with some hessonite onion briolettes that I had. I used gold filled chain and gold filled wire and although it was a simple design, I really liked how they came out. I just love hessonite! It's a garnet family semi-precious stone and comes in graduated shades from a light pale translucent yellow to a very dark reddish brown. I hung them from 14k gold-filled earwires.
I was so happy with them I wore them right away :) and got several compliments - thank you! - so I made one for the etsy shop .
Speaking of the etsy shop, I reopened it last week and got three sales already! Yay! Thank you to my new customers! I'm excited! :)
