My New Friend Jasper

Well since joining here I have definitely gone more than a little stone mad. I got a couple of Jaspers on a swap not really knowing if they would work for me and fell in love! I then managed to pick up 2 LE stones which I am sure are also jaspers... and the Jasper fever set in. With the arrival of my latest 4 I decided today to sit and make up a bracelet to show them off.

The rose quartz and pale agate were a surprise addition, I hadn't thought of adding them before but I think they lift the combination a bit.

So here are some photos, any suggestions most welcome as I am still new to bracelets with anything other than silver

looks good I wont change any thing on it.

I love the natural beauty of the jaspers; your bracelet is a definite winner!

Your bracelets are wonderful, I like the second one more.

Thank you everyone

schneeflocke they are actually the same bracelet, I just swapped buttons for jugend! The jaspers just look so different in different lights.

Ohh, what wonderful colored stones they are, I didn`t know.

I really like the rose quartz and pale agate. they are very good in your combo and they are pale like the pearl on your lock, so it looks great!

Very nice, I love the earthy look of it

The jaspers are great beads! You have scored some beauties!

hehe look at you with your half and half silver and stones I love your jasper bracelet . Can't wait to see what's next...I made some room for you on the slippery stone slope

So beautiful... really nice jaspers, not too rugged... they look great with your delicate silvers!

It´s a very nice bracelet.

I'm nit a fan of jaspers, but yours are gorgeous I think... your bracelet is wonderful !!!

Great combination

Great combo, and very natural and earth like

I have a very serious "thing" for natural, stone & earthy beads (wood included). I really like your combo and am going gaga over TB stones, ambers and woods!

I love your bracelet and it looks great with the leather.

Wow so many replies!! I was working all day yesterday so didn't get online.

schneeflocke - they are amazing colours, and there is such a variety out there too. I chose these ones because they make a great neutral bracelet for me, to go with everything!

Thanks Coralie - I thought the pearl lock suited it best, I did try the swan but I don't think it looked as good!

Thank you TrollFantasy & Ceruleanbluebird

Splinty - I am half way down that slope I think! This is my first alternating silver and stone (or anything) bracelet and I love it I have had to get a bead box to make for easier play time! Perhaps I will take a picture of the non silvers I have collected since posting here - You will be shocked! !

Thank you trollbelle, troll2011& Trollfee!

PMJ I don't like all jaspers, but finding the right ones is half the fun!

Thanks Bianca, my other stones are mostly vibrant jewel colours so I wanted to create something natural and neutral for days when other colours didn't really suit what I was wearing!

Charles I am the same, I LOVE natural beads. They are just beautiful! I don't have any wooden beads yet, but I know someone on the forum makes incredible ones. Where do you get yours?

Thanks Anita - The troll leather is new to me, but I am loving them layered up, or alone with a few beads on. Really comfy to wear in the hot weather too

Very nice

Oooo I love Jaspers, that looks great
