More Agates

These green agate beads extra large and make perfect pendants. Copper wire combines with colors in the stone beads nicely. The first bead has been wrapped with weaved copper wire. I then oxidized it with a mixture of sea salt and Ammonia. The chemical reaction makes a nice blackish blue color.

The second agate is a beautiful apple green peppered with black speckles. I coiled and then used a netted wire wrap and accented it with brown seed beads.

Midnight Rose

I experimented with some oxidized steel wire on this necklace. I did a free form wrap around a green agate bead and then added a small faceted hematite bead. When finished, I noticed it resembled a abstract rose. It hangs with black onyx nuggets and colorful agate tear drops.

Green Agate

This delicious apple green agate bead was part of a strand I got for my birthday. I decided to go with a simple weave with copper wire so that most of the stone bead remains exposed. I formed the weave to just follow the curve of the stone. I knotted it onto black leather cord and made the hook n eye clasp with copper wire, as well.
