I was one of the lucky winners for this month's Art Jewelry Elements blog challenge! Susan SueBeads Kennedy made some colorful lampwork ruffle discs. The one I received was aqua & mango. It's probably the one I would have picked if we'd been allowed to pick. Thanks Susan!

My immediate thought was some elaborate stacked sort of pendant, but then most of the bead would have been hidden if I'd done so. I pulled out a few beads and tried a few ideas until I came up with this. It took me longer than normal to make it, because I'd just adopted a kitten - and he stole just about all of my free time.

I selected some small aquamarine beads, a large faceted amazonite round I'd been hoarding for some time, and some mango Czech glass. I think this necklace would be perfect with a sundress. It's so colorful and cheery.

  3. I love this. The color is gorgeous. And your pop of color above the disc really accentuates and lets the disc stand out.

  15. It might seem gorgeous when it comes to part of an art. That much this necklace has locked my looks on it when I saw this post. You did an excellent work and have shown your great talent on it. Mostly women are great fans for all kinds of jewelry with new designs and modern looks. Though the jewelry prices are very high, the demand for them is not reduced in worldwide.
