Stone Treasures

This morning, after exercising, emptying the dehumidifier that we run in the basement during the summer, and cleaning out the cat litter box, I was playing with some of the semi-precious stone beads that I picked up at Bead & Button this year when it occurred to me that one strand would go very nicely with a polished and carved stone pendant that I had picked up at the show last year.

I use Soft Flex for stringing these necklaces, both for the ease and the strength.  There is nothing worse than having your necklace come apart on you while you are wearing it.  A couple of crimp beads and a nice clasp, and voila, you have a necklace.
