Winter Flower necklace

Last month I bought some beautiful apatite faceted rondelle beads. They are a lovely neon blue colour and I have teamed them with a delicate blue aquamarine to make this Winter Flower necklace.

WINTER FLOWER

Apatite & Aquamarine Sterling Silver Double Petal Wire Flower Necklace

You may recognise the 'double petal' design from my Autumn Flower necklace I made last October with different shades of carnelian. This time I chose a winter themed colour palette. I am already planning a Spring Flower necklace – what colours do you think I should use for that one?

Autumn Walks & Carnelian Wire Flower Necklace

We are having a beautiful autumn in the south of England at the moment with some fantastic weather this week, which is just perfect for those lucky ones on half term holidays. I love walking in the local countryside at the best of times but autumn walks have to be my favourite just for the sheer beauty of all the different colours on show.

I also love the beautiful shades that carnelian comes in, from light shades of orange to deep russet red - a true autumnal gemstone. Here I have adapted my 'Wire Flowers' design to create this double petal flower with wrapped and coiled gemstones around the central bead.

As usual, you can find this necklace on sale in my Etsy and Folksy shops.
