I am finally getting around to posting pictures of the Ancient Egypt-inspired necklace I was meaning to make for a very long time.
I ordered the scarab pendant from Etsy, and spent quite a while amassing turquoise, coral, and gold pieces that I thought would be perfect for the final piece.
It took me forever to sit down and assemble it, but when I decided I wanted to be an Egyptian lady for Halloween, I knew it was time to get to work.
Here she are, all said and done:

Blue Goldstone & Blue Chalcedony Agate
Here's my latest. It's a blue goldstone pendant I wanted to jazz up. I bought it at the local occult/magic/spirituality/don't know how else to explain it shop, and it came on a velvet cord. I was unsure of which beads I was going to use on the strands until I stopped into the same local occult/magic/spirituality/don't know how else to explain it shop the other day, and found a few strands of blue goldstone chips. I figured I may as well use the same stone as the pendant.
I also saw some pretty blue chalcedony agate chips, and thought I would use it for something else, but the lady behind the counter thought I was going to use it for the same necklace. That was a pretty good idea, as it broke up the darkness of the goldstone. I should go back and show her what came of it.
My mom said the pendant may be a bit small for all the busyness and angularity of the strands, and she may be right, but consider this: I almost had 3 strands. Luckily they didn't all fit into the crimp bead when I was making the clasp.
Here's a picture. I thought it would look worse than it did against a black background, but it came out okay.
