Necklace with Wood and Magnesite Rondelles



This morning, I started working on the necklace I sketched out yesterday. But as I worked, I needed to make changes. I had planned to use hematite, but the colors and shapes weren't working with the magnesite rondelles (the pink beads), so I substituted incised wooden cylinders in dark brown and that worked better. I also used additional wooden spheres next to the cylinders, for the sake of the movement of the beads as well as for length. Although the end result is different from my sketch, I am happy with how this necklace turned out. I like the combination of stone, wood, and plated silver beads.
