CC Week 36: From on High
I made a necklace, or should I say, I almost finished making a necklace. It has been sitting in a rarely used room for quite some time, literally gathering dust.
center pendant was from an earring that belonged to my grandmother (mom's side). i used the other earring in a necklace for my sister. ;o)
Four glass vial-style bottles of beads and hardware (with charms) for making necklaces and/or bracelets.
the little found objects were precious to begin with - from the beach, the river, our ground...
just a bit of silver, gold and copper leaf added, they will blink in future jewelry pieces :)

Wearing "The Shellshock Collection" by @dominella Owner of SL Brand @shopdomelle- this collection is the epitome of oceanic luxury with an edge—where pearls meet gilded seashells in a dance of elegance. 🐚💛
Anyone who knows me knows my love for pearls runs deep. They embody grace, wisdom, and the timeless beauty of nature—a treasure born from the sea. So, of course, I couldn’t resist adding this collection to my own.

Any critique would be appreciated.
This image shows multiple strands of polished round gemstone beads displayed vertically, typical of a bead, jewelry-making, or lapidary supply shop. They are sorted by material and color, each strand composed of uniformly drilled spherical beads.

Light green translucent beads — likely green aventurine (quartz with fuchsite)
Semi-transparent to cloudy
Soft mint-to-apple green
Waxy to glassy polish
Red/gold/brown chatoyant beads — tiger’s eye and possibly red tiger’s eye
Strong banding and chatoyancy (cat’s-eye shimmer)
Iron-oxide colors: amber, rust, deep red
Highly polished, reflective
Gray with blue flash beads — labradorite
Gray base with blue/green iridescent flashes
Feldspar with labradorescence
Semi-opaque
Peach/salmon orange beads — likely peach moonstone or orange aventurine
Uniform warm orange tone
Slight translucency
Soft glow rather than banding
Milky white translucent beads — white moonstone or milky quartz

Context clues
Uniform bead diameters suggest commercial bead strands (commonly 4–12 mm).
All are center-drilled for stringing.
Display style matches gemstone bead wholesalers and craft/jewelry markets.
