Featured And last weekend, a car boot lovely

Why do people sell things which someone has obviously painstakingly chosen for them?

I had to rehome this poor waif.

 

Better that it’s with someone who appreciates it The blue is stunning!

 

It was waiting for you. It's the sort of thing I bring home and remake, but I'm an addict.

 

I suspect the maker had remade, if that makes sense, it's got that feel. The two silver bordered bits are a fossil stone, which is neat. And the blue is very fine.

Same seller also sold me a really nice coat, just in time for the heatwave....

The maker is one Shelly Ann Mol, who seems to be in South Africa, makes sense.

 

Stunning piece!

 

Glad you gave it a happy home!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am so happy to see my creation that I made in 2017 finding a wonderful new home: what ever the journey may have been, glad it will be loved again! I hope you will enjoy wearing it - I make each piece unique based on the combination of gemstones and upcycled/recycled African glass beads, with hand-knotting. Sending you love & blessings, Shelly-Ann Mol, London https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/shellyannmol (I do not know how to attach photos, as I'm new to this page, but this is my eBay profile where I originally sold the necklace 3 or so years ago)

 

Fantastic that you are here @Shelly-Ann Mol ! Your necklace has found a fantastic home for life now I think with @Ownedbybear . It’s beautiful- what is that blue stone?…… I will look at your eBay page

 

Hi Shelley!

How very splendid to meet the creator. It is indeed not going anywhere, I like it immensely. I love the turquoise especially.

Photos: no more than a meg in size, just drag and drop.

 

I need some!

 

And WELCOME to ANTIQUERS, Shelley!!!

 

Welcome, fellow bead addict!

 

Hi there, apologies, if I mess up this reply. The blue stone was a Jasper - sea sediment with a little dye enhancement I think. I loved that they were all raw flat slabs, so laid them next to each other to create the pendant feature. Shelly xx

 

Hi there! Thanks - I tried for ages, in the late hours to upload my original (very large Meg) pics only to realise the size max. I am glad to have discovered this forum though, because I have a community jewellery group and we have recently got our hands on some vintage carved Jade and Venetian beads that I will need help identifying. Good to learn. Thank you so much. Shelly xx

 

YUM! These I gotta see! To resize from a phone, email to yourself size Medium. From a real computer, download some photo editing software CNET or another reputable source. I use Ifanview. Takes a little getting used to if you weren't raised on a keyboard, but it does everything I need it to.

 

You are are absolute star - I am saving this, thank you!

 

Oops - Irfanview. I've done the phone thing once or twice, but not often. Works from a tablet too if needed. Save to Downloads and off you go. Might even work from a PC but resizing is easier. We usually recommend 600x800 if you get a choice because that's guaranteed to work and uploads quickly.

 

Hi Shelly, nice to see you here!

 

Hello & welcome to the forum!!

There are some great jewelry minds here on this forum (I am not one of them ) & we all love to look at eye-candy photos.

 

You can also resize in Windows photo viewer. If you right click, you get the option: take it down to 40 percent, it will work fine.
