Omg more diy jewelry?????

yeeaaaaaahhhh got bored and spent an hour or two on this. I’ve recently been making little net charms for some of my tumbled stones (mainly the dyed ones because I just prefer for my rocks to have natural coloration and there needs to be a huge emotional attachment for me to genuinely want to keep a dyed stone) and I thought I’d make one for this little guy cause I want to keep it. I think it’s a pale amethyst because it looks akin, but I’m not really certain. Tumbled stones are harder to id because I can’t find the exact formation it grew in that would tell me. I got it with a bunch of treasures and international art while clearing out my deceased great uncle’s home, including a 18th century Martha Washington with embroidered scenes in its doors (don’t worry, we contacted a museum that told us it was in too poor condition, and restored it ourselves the best we could. I’d never put my own fancies over the preservation of historical artifacts and culture).

So I spent a bit putting together the net together and tied it around the stone. Then I used beads I had! That includes garnet, tigers eye, mother of pearl, dragonsbloodstone, and fluorite in purple or mini beads. Hoping it’ll work with my Dionysos themed necklace I’ll be wearing on Sunday at the Atheneum.
