Pink Rhodonite

Pink Rhodonite
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.

Black Onyx Rhodonite Bracelet

Black onyx really makes the stone pop!

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.

Pearl and Rhodonite Bracelet

Of course I had to make a necklace too!

These girly earrings have a Swarovski crystal with an AB finish. The bottom bead is pale autumn jasper.

Turquoise is a fun, unexpected pairing with the stone.

Spring Has Sprung!

I feel like when tulips bloom it is officially Spring! These lovelies opened up this past week!

I planted geraniums in the urns by my front door. I love these flowers since they keep blooming from Spring all the way through Fall!!!

Some of my rhododendrons are blooming too!

This is what the shrub actually looks like....a bit sad. The winter was so brutal that I am lucky it even bounced back since it is still a baby. It will take some time to get back to the fullness is had last year!

This weather change gave me the urge to work with shells!

This necklace features a cool focal bead of resin with brown lip shell incorporated into it! Available at Miss Val's Creations.
Happy Spring! ~Val
