elisemSo I mentioned that this necklace happened because I was sorting aquamarines and I found a bunch of them that looked (to me anyway) like waves in sequence.
If you lay the necklace out flat and consider it as a sort of zoetrope or flip book or something, the waves come to the shore one after another. I'm pretty sure it's a rocky shore, but those of you who live near a sea and know it better probably are the ones to ask.
These aquamarines are a long way from perfect, and that's why I love them. Those of you who have heard me rhapsodizing about "rasty tourmalines" and the like will know this already. Back in the days when I had several dozen Beads of the Month people, I used to have a lot of fun buying significant quantities of beads and pulling all the well-formed ones with uniform color and qualities, so as to make the Beads of the Month packages equivalent. That left all the weird beads for me, which was a true delight. (I still do that to an extent, but the number of packages I need to pull is smaller since I moved it to Patreon.)
Anyhow, let me know what you think of the beads. The piece is here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1550006235/will-the-sea-remember-me-short-necklace
