But this time, I decided to go for it and see what I could do with a small arrangement of stones. To be correct, this wasn't something I had in mind doing until while wandering my neighborhood bead store I came across some beautiful amazonite cabochons at a decent price. The consistency and richness of the color was too beautiful to refuse, so I decided to buy not just one, but three.
The most wonderful part about in-person bead shopping is you get to see how the colors work with your own eyes at that very instant. So there, I went, buying all the materials I could think of needing.
That was three days ago. Here is the finished product, sans clasp.
Something new this time around too is the style of the bezel I have on the cabochons. The original how-to book I read called for the style of the first two, but the raise on these stones was very high so it made more sense to perform a peyote stitch.
I hope you enjoy my piece! Next post I will show the end result of the herringbone stitch necklace!
