I created this necklace I call Emerge. It's got a few things I'm going to fiddle with on it, but I just couldn't wait to post it!
I'm not sure what the brown round beads are, but they're some kind of jasper. They are not as dark as they appear, though. The other brown beads are picture jasper, the oval blue/green ones are amazonite, and the bird tracks, letters, and bird's nest are ceramic beads. The drops are citrine, and they really add some liquid sunshine to the necklace.
You can probably guess that this necklace has personal meaning for me. It also has a kind of southwestern feel to it when I put it on, I think because the blues in this piece resemble turquoise, and of course the desert is well-represented in the browns; the bird tracks resemble petroglyphs, too.
I absolutely love this necklace! The extender chain is silver plated; the rest of the metal is sterling silver.
The meaning for me in this necklace, well, some of the meaning, is related to therapy.
What do you guys think?

I love it! It's something I would grab all the time to wear. I love the look of browns & blues, very soothing to me. :~) Whatya got there inbetween the beads that you have the jump ring attached to? I don't think I've seen that. I like that.
Thanks Jeanette!
Those are sterling silver things, small findings with a small hole in the disc for threading onto beading wire, and a loop below for attaching dangles. I found these awhile back at Fire Mountain Gems, in the Rajasthani Silver category. They are perfect for this sort of thing . . . I first used them on THIS necklace, one of my very early pieces.
They aren't always in stock, but keep an eye out for them to come back in if they are backordered. Handy little findings!
