Love Turquoise?

I have just finished my newest piece...Turquoise and Jasper in Silver. Its a bold piece, the turquoise rounds are 17mm! The Jasper beads are 10mm, combined with Turquoise Chips.

I usually see Turquoise combined with Red Coral... now I'm not knocking red coral... but I like more unique pieces. I hate to see myself coming and going down the street with the same jewelry everybody else is wearing. I went with Jasper because it has the red tones, but rather than brighter red, the Jasper has a more earthy tone, which I think is a great combination with the Turquoise.

The Necklace length is 18" with a 2" Adjustable Silver Clasp. The Earrings have a 1-3/4" drop. I chose the smaller Jasper Beads and the Turquoise Chips for the Earrings...too much weight with the larger beads!?

This Necklace would be awesome with brighter summer colors and could be worn right into the Fall with the earthy tone gemstone beads. My personal favorite would be a black turtleneck sweater and slacks or jeans. I'm going to make a matching bracelet that I think will compliment the set very well.
I would love to hear your opinions. I'll be adding it to my eBay store in a day or two (http://www.sonomagemstones.com/). Thanks for watching!!
