When I was working on the New Year’s Day intention pieces, I pulled a bunch of stones that seemed right for the project into my work tray, and most ended up going into something...but I had two beads left over at the end, and they insisted on being made into pendants but they won’t tell me what their words are. Maybe you know?

This one has a glorious dark grey opal that veers into an almost sapphire blue in spots, accented with four tiny sapphires of various shades including one that’s an unusual almost-teal color - I’ve never seen anything quite like it. There’s a lot of very focused and steady energy to the piece, and the closest word I’ve gotten is “determination” but that’s not quite right. I figure the person who’s supposed to have it will know...
