Jasper fun

I thought it'll be fitted for today, since my SIL is on her way to Jasper, AB :) I hope it's Jasper - the lady I bought it from had no idea what it is - she said she liked it, and so did I: it has a beautiful pinkish - cranberrish colour and the size of the stones is simply gorgeous!

Of course I fell in love with the stones - I entered the store to buy some supplies for Sandra's Creative Chaos Challenge and before entering the store I said to myself: 'Self, be good!'... yeah, sure... self in a bead store and a good girl, quite an oxymoron! Funny thing is, I bought them knowing exactly what I want to make with them. And during my pink uh-oh (after making the first 4 dangles and discovering the design doesn't work) I picked my Jasper-cranberry-candy stones and created this with them:

It is a very delicate looking piece, I really like how the connecting elements came out. It gives the stones a very feminine, flirty air, I could say a romantic one.

A couple of details - the stones are 1" by 3/4", but the necklace remains quite light. It wears very nicely too!

I added a long chain - I was wearing it with a white linen shirt and the chain was completely hidden under the collar, leaving the necklace open to view. The stones are too big to wear them directly around the neck, however the chain drapes them perfectly for a beautiful wear.

I love it - surprisingly so, since, as we've discovered, pink is definitely my colour. But this one - you can simply eat it (actually I had my hubby asking me to not leave the stones on the table, he's waking in the middle of the night for a snack and he was sure I bought him candies when he first saw them!)

A perfect piece for a summer day - and for a white crisp summer dress: elegant, feminine, delicate, romantic, with a very organic feel: The Jasper Candy necklace.
