The bead from Tracy was a beautiful green color and as soon as it arrived I knew exactly the main beads I would use for a necklace some Australian chrysoprase a great match for the focal, I have had the beads for ever and now I am so glad I kept them as I think they look really nice, I also used Tourmaline rondels and some silver beads, the dangle is Jade with a silver bead cap. I hope my partner will like the necklace and I hope I have done justice to the bead you sent me Tracy!

Hi Jackie,
I'm so sorry I've been out of touch for so long!
That necklace is absolutely stunning, and you really brought the best out in that glorious focal - the style is uniquely yours and I can tell it anywhere.
Will drop you a line later today once I've hopped a few more blogs.
Hi Jackie,
the beads are really a perfect match to the focal. Nice job!

I'm so glad that Lori started up the Blog Hop again, too. You did a beautiful job with your bead soup. Thanks for sharing so much inspiration with us.
Wow, Jackie - this is gorgeous! I really love what you've done with the Peruzi focal bead and I love how you've paired it with the tourmaline beads, I never would've thought to do this, but it really works. Your floral clasp complements the bead perfectly too.
very Pretty, I love nature stone jewelry.
Well in my opinion - justice has been done!!
I love how so many of us were inspired to use beads "we've had hanging around forever." The whole hoarding theme played out. It's a beautiful necklace!
