Citrine Necklace

I just finished this necklace this weekend. It was really fun and easy to make. There are two bezels, the bottom one which is solid silver and on top of it is another bezel made out of gallery wire. The top bezel holds the stone in place. The hardest part of this piece was how delicate the wire is and not melting it when you solder it shut and to the bottom bezel. The stone is a citrine. I'm going to make a ring with the matching stone also using gallery wire.

Gems

A friend and I headed up to the diamond district to buy some gems for future jewelry projects...I love going to the gem stores cause it's like being in a bond film. They are usually in an office building on like the 7th floor with no windows and you have to be buzzed into a tiny room where they look you up and down and you tell them why you are there. Then they begrudgingly let you in. Once inside you can basically ask for anything and they bring out trays and trays of the most beautiful stones. I could have spent hours and thousands, but we only had one hour and I ended up with the below stones...
