Peridot Necklace

Just noticed the peridot necklace wasn't posted...could've sworn I uploaded it with my last series of posts.  Anyway, I don't work a lot with gold; silver seems to go so much better with more things.  But I'd always kinda wanted to do a necklace with the soft beauty of pale yellow-green peridot, and I knew if I did it would have to be with gold.  The two just seem to go together.  The peridot beads are tiny!  They're 3mm rounds, divided by gold-filled metal beads.  I like how it turned out, despite its simplicity.

Peridot Earrings

This is another pair of earrings I took to the Frankfort show.  I made them as companion pieces for the peridot necklace I did earlier.  These earrings are tiny!  The peridot rounds are only 3mm, with gold-filled rounds above and below, and on gold-filled wire and earwires.  The entire earring, from height of earwire to tip of dangle is a little less than 1".  I was worried about losing them before I even got them to the show and I think they were too small to be noticed on my table.
