I have always had an eye for natural stones as I feel quite drawn to them. Most of the jewelry manufactured today is made of plastic, and sure some of it is pretty, but it doesn’t give off quite the same vibe for me. I find I can pick the stone for my mood and it will usually give me a bit of a lift for the day. I have purchased three necklaces from Elevenstones and they are gorgeous, with the added bonus of being really well made. One is a bright blue Andean opal, (my first purchase and is the one pictured) one a mauve and grey/white fluorite, another a green and brown Chrysocolla and a Malachite. The necklaces themselves are made from a waxed polyester string and they are very strong and durable. They clean up with a good scrub brush if needed and even though they look stiff, they soften up the more you wear them. I also find they are not a bother to sleep with it on, and I am a picky sleeper! I liked my first one so much that I went back and picked out another two.
You can visit her Etsy store and take a look, but be warned, the most popular necklaces are bought almost as soon as she puts them up for sale! You can also add her on Facebook, Celeste Marchand, where she sells her necklaces first, so add her as a friend and keep your eyes peeled for new necklaces if you are interested.
