Sneak Preview: The *Safi* Necklace in Turquoise

The past week has been busy with visitors...

Family flying in, flying out...

The house has been a hive of activity,

but it is a happy house for all of the laughter, and chatter, and excitement.

The kids are loving all of the extra attention...

Grandparents were made for spoiling them! :-)

~*~

Amidst the bustle and business, I have found some time to create...

...my *Moroccan Odyssey* Collection is slowly coming to fruition...

The *Safi* Necklace in Turquoise


There is something so beautiful about turquoise...

...it is serene and happy and uplifting all at once...

...and it seems to compliment almost every colour of the rainbow!
(or at least every colour in my wardrobe!)


The chain and bail are sterling silver, and I have given them a lovely patina to really make the turquoise 'pop'...


I like to wear the *Safi* Necklace layered with a few other necklaces...

...but it looks just as nice by itself!

~*~

I foresee silver and fire in my immediate future... ;-)

What do you have planned for the week ahead?

  1. You are right - it does look nice by itself - I really like the perfect beauty of this one flower :). Though I'm sure it combines very well with other necklaces as well!

  2. Gorgeous Bel! I love it in that shade. Are the faceted beads Czech or gemmie?

  3. Thank you Heroilda! :-)

    Siret, sometimes simple is best, is it not... ;-) But sometimes I feel like layering my jewels...just like my clothing!

    Thank you Sylvia :-)

    Thanks Julie! The faceted beads are Czech fire-polished beads...they give off a beautiful sparkle with all of those facets!
