Silver necklace I "made"

[steve in so la]

Some time back I was detecting a volleyball sand court and was getting the usual few coins. Then I got a bunch of chattering under the net, dug up a bead , then another & another till I had a bunch and no more in the sand. I tested them at home and sure enough they were silver. Apparently, someone had lost the necklace and not bothered to look for them.

So I went to a jewelery supply house and bought some "jet" stone beads to go with them. When done fitting it to my wife's neck I had some beads left over. So I made the set of ear rings to match. All this cost about 15 bux.

It's fun & rewarding to reconstruct things we dig. If you live in a rural area away from a jeweler or jewelry supply then maybe get the magazine "Lapidary journal" and the advertisers inside will gladly send you a catalog. Or you can check them out online. Steve in so az
