I made this pendant quite a while ago, but just wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it.  So, it sat on my bench for months.  And months.  I tried pairing it with a beaded necklace and hanging it from a simple chain.  I modified the bail more than once.  Nothing seemed “right”.  Sometimes that happens.  But I really liked the turquoise paired with amethyst.  So while I was deciding what was “just right” I made this simple sterling silver, amethyst and turquoise beaded necklace.

In the end, I decided to go with a longer length chain for the pendant and pairing the two necklaces up for a layered look just made sense.

I think both necklaces have a nice Western look without being too cowgirl.  While I am a born and raised Wyomingite, that sort of look has never been my thing.  These necklaces are both available in my Etsy shop.
