New line: Tropicana

I left last weekend's gem show with a brilliant collection of gemstones that inspired design after design this week. Mostly gorgeous tropical shades of chalcedony, so I named the line "Tropicana" - all designed with bright gemstones saturated with colors reminiscent of warm beaches, tropical fruit, and cocktails adorned with little umbrellas.

I've also implemented an old design with some of them so that they can use interchangeable pendants. The trick is to use slender beads, a small clasp, and attaching the pendant to a split-ring large enough to slip over the clasp and slide without resistance along the beads of the necklace. Using a split-ring allows you to use it with different pendants, or you can just use a different split-ring for each pendant.

So without further ado, here are the new designs I've just listed at Etsy. More to come in the upcoming weeks!
