More Petoskey Stone Pendants......

As I listen to the tumbler downstairs working on another round of Petoskey stones, I thought I'd post some from my last batch that are making their way into my Etsy shop.

Lots more coming too!

Michigan Beach Stones

Recently tumbled another batch of Petoskey and beach stones from northern Michigan....

Picked out a few for some new pendants:

Available in my Etsy shop!

Zoanthus Coral

So I got a rock/jewelry tumbler for my birthday.  Excited to try it out, especially to try to tumble some Petoskey stones.  After some research, found a lot of sites that recommend only polishing by hand, as the stones are so soft.  But there are a couple of sites that have some instruction, so I will give it a whirl.  Hand polishing really does a number on my hands!

During my research, I came across a few sites that showed pictures of live coral similar to the coral that Petoskey stones came from.  So cool!

So hopefully soon I will have some more new jewelry to post!

New Rustic Collection

Another new collection in my shop, Rustic Collection.  Jewelry pieces made from stones, beach glass, leather and metal. I have had some of these stones and beach glass in my stash for years!  Don't know why it took me so long to do anything with them!  

All of the stones in these particular pieces below are from the Great Lakes.  You can find them in my shop here.

Beach Glass

Just in time for summer, here are a couple of beach glass items I made. I found a great shop on Etsy that sells beach glass from Lake Superior, Riverstone Gallery.
