birthday beads

A few years ago I made this delicate, gold filled chain necklace with a single dark green quartz bead. I made it while living in Knoxville, Lily's bead box in Knoxville is hands down the best bead shop ever!
Check out the website http://www.lillysbeadbox.com/ The opportunity to order supplies online makes my life very easy when it comes to finding the perfect jewels.
I started wearing my necklace more frequently and got a few comments... which inspired me to make a similar one for my sister.
I couldn't wait to bring out my wire, tools and beads to create a little something special for a special birthday. I wanted to incorporate the birth stone colors of September (sapphire), June (pearl) and May(emerald). These are the colors of my sisters husband, her little boy and herself. I came across the perfect colored pearls, deep blue for sapphire, dark green for emerald and of course pearl for pearl. I wired the three up on a beautiful chain, added a green quartz for some umph and ta da!
Happy Birthday! Hope you are always reminded of your little one and sweet honey as you wear your necklace! love you! xoxo
