I love the stones and beads that you picked out. The colours go so well together. I also re-do necklaces over and over too. I use bead stoppers on the ends of my beading wire so that I don't have to waste crimps and wire each time. Before Bead stoppers came out I used to use tape on the ends to hold the beads on...that was very sticky...thank god that they came out with Bead stoppers ;pAliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155340819797395657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981148196842031804.post-30517783728360888272016-07-31T19:08:56.104-04:002016-07-31T19:08:56.104-04:00The jasper is wonderful with the focal.

I love your final piece - the jasper adds just enough colour and warmth to show off the pendant without overpowering it and the whole thing has a lovely earthy quality.
