Oldies but Goodies - Smoky Quartz
Welcome to this week's Jewelry Artisans Community Oldies but Goodies Challenge! In fact this challenge is taking me back to the very beginnings of my jewelry making adventures. I had just started experimenting with wire crochet and had happened to pick up a smoky quartz rock at a shop when looking for something else. Back then I was ready to put a crochet bezel around everything, just to see if I could. Tiny moonstone cabs, big deco rocks, a friend even made a joke once that I should try to bezel a hot dog ;-)
I checked, but I don't seem to have a picture of the smoky quartz pendant that I made so long ago. I do have a collection of pieces from the challenge for you, however. Enjoy!

Smoky Quartz is one of my favorites. Beautiful variety of various styles!
ReplyDeleteSuch a mysterious color. I really do love your drop earrings!
DeleteLove that smoky brown color - now flashy like some other stones, but it doesn't need to be.
ReplyDeleteIt can be such a mysterious stone.
DeleteNot flashy, not, now flashy. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I could edit blog comments for typos ;-)
