Six pretty carnelian wands, waiting for creativity to strike...
An earring design appears on my Etsy shop's website,
http://www.suzyrocksdesigns.etsy.com/, that uses gorgeous smooth elongated-teardrop carnelian wands. I have named them
Madame d'Arcy, and have been asked by my fabulous customer Ms. C to make her a pair of her own. Here's what they look like:
The stones are all a little different, and I make them to order, so I'm putting up this series of images representative of the available stones; Ms. C can then pick out her favorites and will receive that exact pair for her earrings.
Now, don't be shy: if you see some you like, I'll make you a pair, too! Please visit my Etsy shop and convo me, or simply enjoy looking (please forgive the grainy quality of the images - still suffering from the deep gloom out here in the NW).
The photo above is a group-hug image of all six pairs; here they come, in individual pairs, shown generally from left to right (above):
Very traditional, deep and rich rust-orange, few inclusions, just what one expects of carnelian.
Similar color as above, with more areas of light orange, some opacity.
Quite interesting.
Yummy orange to rust to dark brown, with white/cream seams. Delightful, more contrasty.
So darling, so different! I love these so much I had to show both photos (how self-indulgent can one get?). These are quite light, with soft grey tones, some pinkish zones, and great rusty-orange seams. Beautiful!
Slightly opaque creamy-orange and lovely traditional orange.
Interesting horizontal seams.
Back to the traditional, though these have quite a range of colors,
and are a bit more opaque than some.
