Come visit me at Celebrate Newton and see all the new pieces Paternostri has been creating these last few days. They are my new favorites. Mention this blog post for 10% off your purchase! Here is a sneak peek. Top of my list is the pinkish rhodochrosite heart shaped stones with bits of green and cream colors. Adding another color stone would not do, so I found the solution… pewter spacers and an unusually placed clasp. I love this piece!
Another necklace is a really strange but oddly beautiful one. I found what looks like quartz blackened by fire rondelle shaped beads and bought one strand. What will this work with? By itself it was interesting, but would I wear it? No!
Sometimes the collector in me has to stop myself from bringing home these unwearable specimens. I stumbled across some Czech glass beads that intrigued me many months ago. Looking almost like insect wings with reddish and gray colors. The two strands made a great combo. See for yourself. I added garnet for more red depth and sparkle and an onyx pendant. This is also my new favorite!
