Yesterday I whipped out eight bracelets using leftover stones from a variety of projects. They're all about the same length, in a variety of colors and patterns, depending on what I had available that worked with them.
Picture-taking didn't turn out too well as you can see--the camera won't focus on the foreground, whether it's the front of the bracelet or just the bracelet in general, only the background or the back of the bracelet, no matter what I tried.

This necklace is one I did for Mom. I had made her a yellow and gray pearl necklace to go with a skirt she had, but the yellow was too bright. She liked the clasp, though, and I reused it for this piece for her as a replacement. Yellow jade is hard to find (I usually come across lemon or honey jade), but I located some 6mm yellow jade on FusionBeads. Mom wanted me to do the simple sterling dividing beads with it the way I'd done her watermelon tourmaline necklace, so this was the result. She likes her necklaces long, too, which I kept in mind.

I'm a growing fan of yellow jade. I like it far better than lemon jade, which has a greenish cast to it, or honey jade, with an orange cast. Yellow jade is a soft, buttery yellow, which has made it popular with my Mom. This necklace is actually a redo...it was originally done years ago on stretchy string, which made it difficult to keep from tangling. I redid it for the Frankfort show on fishing line, and made it longer (it used to be about 18"). I used yellow jade cubes, white rice pearls, and seed beads.
