Labradorite and PMC silver earrings

I had a bit of a challenge trying to set the bezel in the textured pmc ..I ended up using silver solder paste . Next step is to solder  backings to the earrings .I love Labradorite it has a luminescent blue flash sometimes the gemstone has veins that run through it and adds to it's character .

This necklace makes an outfit, I wear my necklace with everything It's simple and colourful. Not everyone can tell what it is and I can see them trying to figure it out, they stare at my necklace with great intensity . This necklace will be posted on etsy this week .Come and shop in my etsy store.

Dang so I ran inside after and had a quick shower and out came my lovely metalicus tube top that I love , love, love !!!For the rest of the day I tried to think of wonderful fun things to write in my blog ... Well this was it for today :)
