What do you do when you've got all these left-over beads? After five or six years of making jewelry, I had two huge baggies or odd stones, not enough to do an entire piece. . . or so I thought. I call this Confetti because that's exactly what these stones look like scattered against each other. I didn't plan, I just strung and used this wonderful antique 40s rhinestone clasp to hold it all together. if you look closely, you will see what's left of all the turquoise, red jade, coral, moonstone, pearl, malachite, crystal, rose quartz, apatite, etc. stones I'd been saving. It's a great celebration of color, a precocious howdy-do of a piece, to be worn with great joy and a whole lot of panache.
