Sunday morning SToNZ arm party.

Aggregate Necklace With Seaglass

A second aggregate necklace.
This time with a gorgeous piece of bright aqua seaglass dangling below.
Made with silver from an antique spoon and hung on a gorgeous vintage sterling chain.
Sold right quick. Guess I need to explore this idea more. I wasn't sure whether folks would go for the look, but apparently it's got potential!
What do you think?
Cool or strange?

A Conglomeration of Aggregate

I don't know exactly what this stuff is, but I have been collecting it from the shores of Lake Erie for many years. It appears to be aggregate of some sort. Like lots of smooth beach pebbles held together with cement, broken into chunks and then tumbled for years in the Great Lakes.
If anyone has information on this stuff, I'd be very interested to know more. Many industries have dumped their slag and junk into our lake over the years and I imagine that these lovely rocky clusters I find are the byproduct of some manufacturing process.

I thought it might be fun to bezel set one of the smaller pieces of this stuff into a silver necklace. The back plate was made from the bowl of a sterling silver antique spoon. So upcycled and recycled all the way around. Something different. Find it here in my Etsy store.

Heavy Metal - Thank you Pinterest!

This cool guy happened upon my arm party SToNZ bracelet photo on Pinterest last week and tracked me down on Etsy. He emailed and asked me to make him three heavy chain bracelets in his size. I think they look amazing! Hope he agrees. Shipping them to Massachusetts today. 

Thank you, Marcus! (and Pinterest!)
