Great idea! I found a stone with a hole in it and checked Internet on different ways to wrap it and stumbled upon “hag stones”or “hex stones” supposed to guard against evil witches, I wear mine often but not for the superstition but because I think it looks great and is a conversation piece ????

Thank you, Glenda, Cindi and Colleen! 🙂 I’m glad to have provided some inspiration, as I have received so much from others.

I thought the gold was part of the stone!!
Love the story behind this as I’m a beach comber too. Do you think we will ever be able to walk the beach with our heads UP?!
I also love the story behind fixing it up. Great work, I can’t wait to try this out.

I head to Sanibel in a couple of weeks and am now going to be “stone” hunting rather than shell hunting. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.

Love the Kintsugi technique you used, Tamara… what a beautiful interpretation!

In reply to Tamara.

I had the same thought, Tamara – what are the odds that two people would do a beach theme now? 🙂

Hahaha, I know, Rena! 🙂 When I saw your tutorial, I was amazed that we would both choose to share beach stone creations at the end of Nov. when usually thoughts are directed to other types of jewellery components. I think the simple, humble beach stone can often be overlooked.

Tamara, I love your story of the beach stones creating their own drill-holes, and then putting themselves in front of appreciative treasure hunters. 🙂 To the stones, this is probably one of the most interesting phases in their in their long, eventful lives. And I’m fascinated with the Kintsugi philosophy, and how you applied it to this stone pendant. Very inspiring! Also, you and I are on the same wavelength – my tutorial this week is also a beach stone necklace project! 🙂
