Green Adventurine Chain Maile Stage 2

This green Adventurine Chain Mail necklace is now half finished! Here's a picture of what will be the "around the neckline/throat part of it.

This is a fun piece to make. Well, now it's on to the necklace strands and they will have leather.

Let me know what you think so far and if you have any ideas of what you'd like the rest of the necklace to look like, feel free to let me know.

Green Adventurine,and Silver Chain Maile Necklace

This idea for a green adventurine, silver and leather necklace came to mind this morning about 3:30 a.m.. So, after breakfast I sat down with my jewelry supplies and started work on it. O.K., that was at 7:30 a.m. and I am just now taking a break at 12:10 for lunch. The necklace isn't but a third done as you can see in the pictures below. Certainly not ready for anyone to wear, not even a very, very tiny person. But, I get so involved and focused and having fun doing it, that I really forget how labor intensive chain maile really is. Well, I'll get it finished within a day or so and then it will be ready for the completion photos and being listed on my Etsy shop:
