Welcome to Lori Anderson's
Second Annual
This will be my first time joining.
For this Blog Hop I pulled out this
Golem Studio pendant from my stash.
I think it is one of the pretties of the Golem Pendants.
Even on sale it is on the pricey side for me.
So there it sat in my collection.
I thought this Gaea Ceramic bead went nicely with it.
I got to the top of it with the knotting and then
I couldn't decide how I wanted to proceed.
Did I want it hang from I long chain?
Did I want to add ribbon...hang it from some leather cord?
Scrounged around for coordinating beads...
I want them to be a supporting cast to the pendant...
not to over power it.

I found these coral cats eye beads.
Hmm they might work?
I only had a few since they were gifted to me.
The faceted green rondell cat's eye might work pretty good
and a few of these Bronzite beads might just do the trick..
Based on these beads I went with a choker length necklace.
I love this chain too which I have also been hoarding.
This seemed to be a perfect time to use it.
The magnetic clasp makes it easy peasy to put on and off.
I could see wearing this
with a nice crisp cotton collard shirt.

Very pretty. Love the copper chain and accents.
What a beautiful focal I can see why you were hoarding it for just the right thing and I see you found it. The Gaea Ceramic bead is perfect, and the rest of the composition is delightful. Enjoy wearing your new piece.

I can see why you'd be hoarding that chain
Golem Studios makes amazingly pretty beads. I too would have hoarded that pendant! Loving the colors of your necklace. Gorgeous focal which you have absolutely made sing with the chain and coordinating beads. I imagine you will get tons of oohs and ahhs when you wear this.
This is one of the prettiest and most balanced pieces I have seen in the "Bead Hoard" thus far! Congratulations, Terri, on creating a beautiful piece!! I say, keep hoppin'...I would love to see more of your original work!
Stunning necklace set. I could see wearing that every day.
I love the colours you've used. They set off the focal perfectly. :-)

Sweet little set. Love Golem Studio too.

Hi Terri, I too have a couple of Golem beads that I have been hoarding. They have such a unique and recognizable style. You did and amazing job of showcasing their lovely bead. Each item that you chose seems a perfect fit. Beautiful.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your work with us. I can see why you were hoarding the Golem pendant. Its lovely. The finished piece is really inspired.
You did a beautiful job putting this together. Good choice breaking out your bead splurge to play with and use in your design.
What a beautiful set! I love how you put it all together and that main bead is so pretty! xo
You accented your focal so well. Love the chain.

I love this necklace! You really made wonderful choices as you went along in all the elements. The pendant is beautiful as are all the other beads, and I love that chain as well.
Gorgeous necklace. Love your choice in colors,the copper chain looks beautiful with the colors in the pendant.Gorgeous piece!
Wow what an outstanding job you did with that pendant! I have always loved that pendant. You created a perfect necklace where the pendant is the star of the show!
The whole necklace is very nice. I enjoyed reading about how you choose each component. The chain could have been the centerpeice. I've never seen on like it
Oh what a perfect 'chain' to complement that pendant! Beautiful work :) Now for the big question...is this pretty moving from your bead hoard to your jewelry hoard? Or it is leaving the nest completely? lol
Thank You all so much for all the wonderful comments... I appreciate each and everyone of them!!
Skye ...this pretty as you say...will be going in to my sell stash for my next Bead Show. If it doesn't leave the nest it may make it's return to my jewelry stash. ;)
So pretty! You really highlight Golem's pendant nicely. I love the colours you pulled out , most especially that creamy yellow. It works perfectly with the pendant.Sweet little earrings, too. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
I love Golem Beads and you're right, that's a pretty one! I love how you used the wavy disks to decorate the top. Very pretty!
