I think that I've been on a green kick lately. My eye has been drawn to that particular color almost every time I see it. Now I don't often buy myself jewelry but I thought that these little necklaces would be nice accents to my usual t-shirt and jean wardrobe. Especially since one of my favorite cardigans to wear is a nice shade of olive green. I may swap out the black rat-tail cords for nice green ribbons instead.
The one on the left is dichroic glass and was found at the San Mateo sewing festival. Here's a few etsy shops that have a nice selection of dichroic glass pendants. GlassElation, CCValenzo, Ryanstones ... I'm sure there's many more shops, but these are the first ones that caught my eye.
The beautiful pendant on the right is made from colored pencils! Yes, that's right, those are slivers of colored pencils that are then laminated together. It's from Jen Maestre's etsy shop. If you've never seen her work before you should head on over and check it out. Truly gorgeous work.
Oh, etsy is going to break my bank, one gorgeous necklace at a time! thank you for sharing the links!

Love your new necklaces! Isn't it interesting how we gravitate to cetain colors at times? When someone asks me what my favorite color is I have to tell them that it changes from day to day!

They are beautiful Tami. Yes I too do the same. Sometimes even if I try consiously to change I still end up with the same colours.
