Let's talk about *Carnelian*

[Daisys and Diamonds]

so last night just trolling the web i saw this
so due to forum rules we have to ignore what it is paired with but i do feel inspired
it reminds me of the kind of thing HRH Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden might wear and then everyone over at the court jeweller will complain that its costume

but this is NZ$1026 and i think that's outragouse for gold plated, but i guess it is really costume


but it is my inspiration piece
im thinking (whispering some cheapee FW pearls from Ms Wen in China)
then this as a central feature

just looking at this old thread as i just brought a half strand of hopefully orange carnelian big chunky fascated beads
this pendant is so you, i love it
have you been wearing it much ?

Well.....I forgot all about it until this thread popped up again! I'll have to dig it out and wear it!

 

[stracci2000]

very special but also a nice size for wearing on any occasion
i like that it fits your middle finger

The ring belonged to DHs great grandmother. I posted about this ring last year, you may recall.
You can see it in the photo (it's actually a tintype), which was taken about 1896.
I was floored when I looked at the photo with a loupe and saw her wearing the ring!

yes i do remember the photo, it makes her ring even more special
for the times its a very nice even possibly cheerful photo, (our old family photos all look so deadly serouse )
i think it is great nana's hat plus great grandad looks quite dapper ( a word that seems to be making a comeback when describing King Charles)

ome pic!!!

Awesome pic!

The facial expressions look so natural, especially for that era of photography.
It could be a modern candid pic.

just because i want to see what it looks like

What a great photo! What a treasure to have it with the ring!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

well this arrived
its not big money by anybodies stretch of the imagination (Its just a bit of fun) but it all takes sooooooooooooooo long to get down here
and i just want my origional Whitby Jet project to be finished and wearable

i will have to clear my bead board and see what it looks like with the jet, its a burnt orange kind of colour and i was hopping for more orange and less burnt but it is late in the day and its very overcast and i havn't switched the lights on yet

im afraid it is going to look too hallowean even though we dont have that much history with hallowean here

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

im thinking of this
i just found out it's another virgo birth stones
to go on my soon to be finished whitby jet project

actually ordered thee ones early this morning so i can begin working on my new carnelian and pearl necklace necklace

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

it doesnt look that far does it

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

this should arrive today
actually it should have already arrived but we have a lazy courier driver on our route

im excitted to see what they are like and i really what to love them as they are an alternitive birth stone of mine

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

this is what hasn't turned up yet), i think it is intended for the pearl necklace inspired by the picture i posted at the top of this page

but this has arrived, its for my Whitby Jet necklace but i plan to wear it tomorrow just because i love orange

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

my missing beads ahve been found by the post office and our out for delivery -so much for them being delivered hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm last wednesday
anyway onwards and upwards
as always its good practice for me buying more expensive gemstones in the future as everything is smaller than i thought it was going to be
one lot is so bright like an air NZ lolly it looks dyed ??

got a fun ss carnelian ring as a thumb ring although its a bit loose it might end up on middle finger
a little bit dissapointing as there is kind of like a 'poo' stain on the actual stone, down the middle -too bad i cant post a picture
the ring is pretty cool, it was listed as a man's ring but i dont think it is heavy enough for a man's ring
still it scratched the itch,

all the pressure is now going to go on my pearl & carnelian creation and the rose i want to use on my Whitby jet which i assume is still with NZ post

this is the etsy photo
it might look more orange outside ?
the colour is a bit muddy (almost brick like) on mine (plus the poo stain)
i do really like the actual ring

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

after some minor drama my rose pendant (potentially for the Whitby jet necklace) is here !!!
not my photo, and the pendant has a flat back which i dont think will matter neither here nor there ?

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

so i gave up on Carnelian due to all my ideas looking like Halloween plastic when i strung them up

and then we got new shirts at work
and they are black with a lot of orange trim

after some minor drama my rose pendant (potentially for the Whitby jet necklace) is here !!!
not my photo, and the pendant has a flat back which i dont think will matter neither here nor there ?

i have been wearing this for days just on the string it came on
so i might get the bead board out again
