My favorite finds in Bronze Mist and shades of Blue Moon:

Turquoise Howlite Gemstone Sterling Flower Pendant Necklace 

dianesdangles

This dyed turquoise Howlite gemstone is a strikingly beautiful shade of vivid blue. Howlite in its natural state is a white stone with similar patterns as turquoise. Because of Howlite's porous texture, it can be easily dyed to imitate other gemstones.

The stone has been polished for a high sheen and framed by a special design sterling bezel. The bezel is a step-design pattern with a slight serration to its edge. The bezel was cut, edges filed, and the ends soldered together for a perfect fit around the stone. The bezel was polished to a brushed finish. The back of the pendant is open for full viewing of this lovely stone. The inside of the bezel is secured with a strong two-part epoxy glue to hold the stone in place. A sterling jump ring is soldered to the top of this bezel for accommodating a sterling textured bail.

Beautiful Little Nightmare

pixels.com/profiles/colleen-cornelius

Photograph Titled "Beautiful Little Nightmare" is a photograph of a Tarantula Hawk resting on the Desert Milkweed blossom in Sunnylands Estates. I think these are so beautiful, with a silky ebony body with iridescent golden wings this insect is as pretty as a butterfly. But after reading a bit one would look at this beauty with a different eye. The Tarantula Hawk will stun a tarantula to paralyze them then lay their eggs on the tarantula's abdomen. When the pupa hatch they hungry and find they are living on a buffet! While I am sure a tarantula see them as terrifying murders I still think they are beautiful.

This photograph was captured in Sunnylands Center & Gardens in Rancho Mirage California spring 2017

Fox Necklace, Fox Woodland Necklace, Statement Necklace, Rustic Nature Lover Woodland Jewelry, Animal Nature Walk Jewelry, Organic Boho OOAK

PrettyGonzo

Perfect for nature lovers, this fox woodland necklace is an eye-catching handmade piece featuring an artisan-made fox pendant, blue sponge quartz, silver freshwater pearls, crescent organic seeds, and sterling silver beads and clasp. The pendant was made by a talented polyclay artist in the USA, and is stamped with the outline of a sweet fox sitting with its tail curled around its paws. The fox is outlined in brown with silvering throughout its body, and the background is a bluish teal. The effect is very charming, and the pendant should delight anyone who loves foxes, like me!

To celebrate this sweet woodland animal, I chose beads that brought together elements of the natural world:
• Blue for water or the sky
• Brown for the forest (especially the organic seed beads) and to echo the fox's outline
• Silver to enhance the fox's color and also suggest winter or moonlight.
