Beet Queen Choker

If you folllow my kitchen blog, Culinary Adventures with Camilla, you know that I recently cooked an all-beet dinner for a friend's 38th birthday. Beet bread. Beet chutney. Beet-rubbed leg of lamb. Even beet mousse!

So, naturally, I had beets on the brain when I made this hefty choker.

Large (dyed) agate druzy nuggets - in shades of red and golden beets - are handwired with faceted watermelon quartz, garnets, and recycled red glass to form this one-of-a-kind choker. It closes in the rear with a sterling silver lobster clasp.

Oh, sugar. Oh, honey, honey!

I bought these gorgeous druzy agate nuggets and that song by, The Archies, immediately popped into my head: "Oh, sugar. Oh, honey, honey!" 

The nuggets have pale veins running through the warm, golden stones that reminded me of honeycomb.  Then the dusting of druzy crystals, like sugar, sealed the inspiration.  I created this one-of-a-kind neckace with one large honeycomb druzy agate nugget handwired with recycled glass in two shades of yellow, Dangling below that is a pale calcite teardrop with a sterling silver bee charm.
