New Gemstone Pendants & A New Leaf

Do you love gemstones?? I do & this morning, (for some unexplained reason) I thought I'd inventory my stones and write them down....... Oh my goodness, I have more in baggies than I do set into jewellery. It's got to STOP! (See the stern way I talked to myself then?)
So (as I don't want to turn into our furry friend), I've turned over a new leaf and listed three new gemstone pendants in my Etsy Shop.
This is great because:
1) I can pretend that I will somehow stop being a member of stonaholics anonymous
2) I'm normally so busy making everything, except the time to list them!
3) If they're on show, maybe someone might buy them.
4) Then it will make room for more (ooops backsliding already, lol.)

You can see how I make this swirl setting here, I love it as it doesn't detract from the stones, such as this marvelous Dendritic Agate. It's also called Tree Agate and is a variety of Chalcedony.
Still on the Chalcedony theme, this ones an Aqua Chalcedony (I love this soft Summery Green)
Then there's this gorgeous deep purple Amethyst, isn't it delicious?

Hope you like the new pendants & welcome any feedback you have :)
Now I need to go back to the bench, as I've some commissions that need to be finished for tomorrow.
Love, Light & Creativity
