I love to crochet. I have been crocheting with sterling silver for years. Usually single strand necklaces with gemstones or pearls, sometimes 3 or more strands, but strands nonetheless. In an attempt to use up some the ends of the spools of light gauge silver wire, I started making little abstract shapes. Here is what I did with them.
Amethyst and Pink Chalcedony

Carnelian and Ruby

Tourmaline

Garnet

And my personal fave...Labradorite

These debuted at SoWa Sunday August 9th, and they turned out to be a big hit!
