I love November - it's a wonderful month full of beginnings of family get togethers, weather changes, and did I mention my birthday? Yep, I'm a Scorpio true and true. Although, I still wear my flip-flops (at least going to the mailbox)it is time for sweaters and hot tea. Thanksgiving is almost here and Christmas lists are already in progress. Yes, November is one of my favorite months. Be safe and enjoy the holidays!

Blue Lapis Goldfilled Necklace

Well, it's in the works! I'm not sure if it's the beautiful weather here at the Jersey shore or if I'm being pulled in too many directions but this poor necklace has been on my workbench for two weeks now waiting patiently to be finished. Today, will be the day to get it completed. Now that I sit here writing about this Lapis and Cintrine necklace I am remembering why I stopped. I was at a quandary with finishing the necklace. I like things that are mismatched. I like stones at the clasp area not to match. I may actually match this with lapis by the clasp or mismatch with clear quartz and amethyst. Any suggestions? Match or mismatch? What gemstones?
