On Saturday January 22 I was helping
Maria with her classes at
Bead Rock, a bead store in Ajax. Of course I could not resist looking about and I found these great blue goldstone briolettes. I also got two stands of fire polished rondelles.
I played around with a few ideas, but was inspired by instructions I saw on how to wire wrap a briolette. I decided to try a few with the plan to use them in a necklace. The necklace design is still a work in process. I decided to make a few sets of earrings.

| With just briolettes |
 |
| With Swarovski crystals accents |
The success of these earrings had me digging in my gem and mineral drawer to see what other briolettes I had. I found a strand of moss agate briolettes. There was a mix of colours from a moss green to a pale gray.

| Moss green stones with Swarovski crystal accents |
 |
| Pale gray stones with purple Swarovski crystal accents |
I am getting better at wire wrapping. I hope to find just the right chain style to make my original necklace idea work soon.
