  • Very beautiful this mix and you made it yourself? There are many shops with 'stones' in Idar Oberstein that it is often difficult to choose! Do you know it?
  • Hi Akkie, thanks for looking and no I don't know the shop with Idar Oberstein stones, can you let me know please.

    There are a few necklaces here, they are long and actually look great together, and yes I designed them myself.    I sell the long ones and then someone can buy a shorter one which complements the long one and also their own gold chains, which look super together.

  • Hi Ann, Idar-Oberstein is a city in southern Germany. Minerals are still found here.
    Throughout the city you can find stores, which sell this. Usually of an excellent quality.
    On google you can find information about including shops and there are videos to see.
  • Goodness, that`s nice, Ann! Love the mix.

  • Thanks Akkie and Frankie, these necklaces do look good together, but pity the beads are only resin.

    Having said that, lots of women like necklaces which are light and not heavy, and my necklaces tend to have chunky beads and are heavy.

    I often hear young women walk past my necklaces and say "beads too big".  As we get older I feel we get more bold with our choice of necklaces and tend to wear larger beads.  But just my opinion.
