About Me

My photo
I absolutely LOVE what I do! I started designing jewelry over eight years ago, and I still love to bead myself senseless every chance I get! I have a wonderful, patient husband, 5 grandchildren, 2 baby goats, and 20 chickens to keep me busy and out of trouble (?) when I'm not senselessly beading! www.BeadUSenseless.etsy.com

Green Garnet Slabs & Hand Forged/Wrapped Sterling Silver


I love rough beads....not too perfect...like me! (I just spilled red wine all over my kitchen table, a bill for school taxes, a box of business cards, and my sleeve! Not too perfect...right!)
There is something so seductive about a diamond in the rough...green garnet in it's rough slab state... paired with the rich perfection of sterling silver...it just grabs me! I may be klutzy, but I can still appreciate the eclectic attraction of these opposing beauties!
The only piece of sterling silver that I did not make is the soldered jump ring for the clasp on the necklace .
