Yey, spent my anniversary money!

Thanks to all who gave me suggestions for spending my Mum's gift of money for my 30th anniversary.
I wanted them all, but then had a brainwave.
I have 2 gorgeous gems waiting for Xmas, so I have taken the sapphire to have now (then I'll get something else for Xmas). How lucky am I, a sapphire . It's by Liana, she's so talented
The other gem is still put away for Xmas unless I find another excuse to rescue it.

This bead doesn't want to be photographed, the light is fading so will need to try again in better light.

I now ned to be on the bead wagon, if I only had some willpower

Wow! That is a beautiful bead, Rogotroll Your bracelet is lovely too - what is the green bead next to the stopper? It's lovely! Happy Anniversary - enjoy your beautiful bead

Your sapphire is a gorgeous colour. Happy Anniversary!

I love the cool colors and that sapphire is a beauty. Great way to spend your anniversary money. I don't feel alone, I need to be on the bead wagon as well!

Great choice, your sapphire is a stunning colour! Congratulations again.

Rogotroll, Happy Anniversary & congratulations on your sapphire! And your Moon Oceans are especially gorgeous specimens! They really look great with the sapphire.

Congratulations on such a great bead and a lovely bracelet

It's a non- Troll Imperial jasper from a forum member, I bought it along with the lime mother of pearls as a set. I hadn't thought I liked lime green, but I love it and it goes surprisingly well with many colours.
