eye contact, some jewelry 

I made a necklace at the last @fossandcrafts Hack and Craft! I said I was going to post it but then I didn't get a chance really.

So here it is... the necklace, in detail, and then me wearing it!

What are the stones you used? I love a good rock/mineral :)

You can get magnificent stones that would have cost a fortune a few decades ago for almost nothing now. I have a nearly 7ct flawless cut saphire on my desk, rich blue color. Cost me at most 20$, before artificial sapphires it would have been thousands. Worth taking advantage of and doing real stones if it interests you. Bling is cheap these days as long as it isnt diamond.

@freemo @fossandcrafts I hear even diamond is reasonably cheap these days. Anyway yeah, go artificial stones! I should get some.

I wouldnt suggest artificial saphire unless you want them even cheaper. The 20$ saphire i described is a real one. But artificial ones look nice so certainly a go!

Diamonds are cheaper, not not "cheap" Nothing in my diamond collection is under 100$ a stone, but my saphire collection is often under 20$ for the real deal, though if you go really high quality they can still wind up int he hundreds.
