Merry unbirthday to me ! Merry unbirthday to me !
Eh ? What, it’s totally my unbirthday, did you honestly forget ? My partner is the lovely D Lynne Bowland, who lives in the Atlantic region of Canada !
Lynne’s birthday is in october, so my weapon of choice was peridot… Or at least peridot hues. I did a bit of both, you see…
This is handmade chain, as I often do – the bigger green rounds are glass (I do not think it it czech glass, but I am not sure. I’ve had these for quite a bit), the little chips are actual peridot chips. The clasp is linked to the chain solidly by sari ribbon.
The focal is a golden hoop rescued from a broken pair of earrings. Peridot chips are wrapped along the inner section of the hoop, and a peridot-colored crystal hangs from the top.
The matching earrings follow the same basic idea as the necklace links – peridot chip and the green glass beads.
My birthday is in june – and there are a bajilion birthstones for June ! Seems like every chart likes to say something different… Common stones to see are pink quartz, alexandrite, pearls. Lynne decided to take a bit of everything – for amazing results !
I will be the first to admit – beadweaving blows my mind. It honestly does. I do not think I will ever have either the patience or the skill for either… And look what showed up at my doorstep ! Breathtaking, isn’t it ? I love this necklace.
Now go look at all the amazing talent in this hop ! 🙂

what a gorgeous set.. love love love it.
Oh man, what a beauty! I love the soft greens and that hint of blue in the rounds. I didn't get a chance to take a pic of my partner's either. This has been such a fun hop!
GREEN. *stares all mesmerized* Excuse me, you sent this to the wrong person. You surely meant to give it to ME for MY unbirthday. 8D
Gorgeous.
Gorgeous colors and beautiful necklace, I can tell a lot of thought and love went into this piece. Peridot is one of my favorite stones, and this necklace showcases that perfectly. Great party!
Thanks for my lovely unbirthday gift.. Peridot is August, which is when my birthday is.. I'm sure we will both where our necklaces with pride all year long to celebrate our unbirthdays!
Spectacular! I love the the green peridot and the blues of the crystals along with the ribbon, yummy!
((AUDREY)) Baby girl, I love those green and blue mixed glass beads, and the pendant part with all the peridot interwoven around a leftover earring – genius recycling! The bracelet you received is so nice, I love purples and green together my favorite color mix. SO I can borrow it right? XXOO

Hi love love your necklace!
Oh, wow, beautiful! I *love* peridot and I *love* what you made with it. Such a playful and lovely necklace.
You know what? As soon as I laid eyes on Lynne's gift for you I thought 'hmm, did she used peridot as well?!' – very smart to use the peridot 'links' 🙂 And a beautiful necklace from the Island Girl 🙂
Happy Un-birthday to both of you!
Love, love, love both necklaces.

Your necklace/earring set is incredible! I adore the all color! So spring-like! And your gift from Lynne is …. WOW! I'm envious!
