In anticipation of the upcoming episode of Massachusetts state symbols, I have been working on more rhodonite pieces.
I was contacted last minute about being involved with the state gemstone segment so I had very little of the stone on hand to show. I maximized as best I could by pairing with other materials.

Here it is paired with curly shells which compliment the pink beautifully. The remainder of the strand includes shell, white quartz and glass pearls.
It is gorgeous with natural pearls. But then again, what isn't? The bracelet sold within a couple of days of posting.
Of course I had to make a necklace too!

Turquoise is a fun, unexpected pairing with the stone.

I like the variety of shapes and textures in a single piece of jewelry!
ReplyDeletereally love it with the pearls!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks either elegant feminine or funky feminine here ~ either one is good! You made good use of your rhodonite!
ReplyDeleteHi Val,
ReplyDeleteAll you pieces are gorgeous! I love the Rhodonite with the black Onyx. I have a couple of small cab (I did not make them) and some 4mm round beads of Rhodonite, I love the color of this stone.

Gorgeous! all of them!! you are right that the black onyx really sets off the color of the rhodonite ... I bet matte onyx would look stunning with these stones! I am in love with those curly shells .... I have some in my stash that I brought back from Mexico. I've been hoarding them, but I need to get those out and start thinking about warmer weather (it will arrive some day in the Northeast - we hope)
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful pieces, Val!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the combination of the pink and black.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
