When I was at Dakota Stones shopping for focals, the Red Creek Jasper had a very different look than previously, with very little copper, ochre or olive, but I did find some nice pieces that work well with the Sage colorway. I am sharing those focals here, because I can provide larger, clearer images than in my Etsy listings.
These particular stone beads are mostly usable on both sides and some are completely different on each side, a bonus for you. You can choose your preference, based on your own wardrobe needs, or just fall in love with one side or the other. I show you both sides of each piece below! There are just 8 of these kits.
Here goes:
 |
A lighter side (with a few silvery clouds in the sky) and a darker side!
|
 |
| In this case, both sides are very similar. |
 |
| The first side mostly dark (nice bezel contrast), with a second side that has interesting landscape color and markings. |
 |
These two sides are totally different. The first is similar in color to my sample, kind of khaki,
and the second side is deep teal and midnight dark. |
 |
Both sides have a little patterning, the first more, and the second a little less, It has a small, flat spot on the upper right edge at the back side, but im my experience, it would not affect the bezel shape.
|
 |
| Both sides have a little fiery patterning, and remind me of the sky above a forest fire at night. |
 |
| Beautiful patterning on both sides of this bead, the first bold and the second more soft. |
 |
| This final focal bead is soft and pale, very sky-like to me. An almost perfect match for the bezel beads. |
I really like the range of options here. Choosing a dark or contrasting focal means the bezel is a featured bit in your composition. Selecting a lighter bead means the piece becomes more an organic whole. Both can be lovely!
Available in my
Etsy Shop on Saturday, October 13th, around noon CST.
