Does moonstone count?

[MakingTheGrade]

I don''t know if moonstone counts as a "colored stone"...
I just wanted to share a pendant I just ordered because I think it''s so adorable. It''s like a fat froggie greedily hoarding a big ol water droplet. I think my mother in law will love it!

Debating matching earrings...

Froggy is too cute! And yes, it counts.

OF COURSE IT COUNTS!!! There are some avid moonstone lovers around here. Nice gems!

I used to really love moonstones when I was in highschool. It was so pretty, and so affordable! I don''t know where all my moonstone jewelery has gone to now though :/ Ah well.

I also love that the froggies are hand made. I think hand made jewelery is so romantic It might not be as perfectly exact as casting, but the imperfections are part of the charm I think. Maybe when I retire I''ll try to learn to metal smith, lol.

It''s adorable. Where is it from, if you don''t mind my asking?

Sally from Heart of Waters. I ordered my lotus ring setting from her, and then found these on her website and thought it would make such a great gift for my mother in law since she loves cute animal jewelry.

Lovely moonstone!

A bit off topic, but Sally is really fun to work with.

Awww... the froggie is just so adorable. I lvoe moonstone. I''ve been drooling over Sally''s moonstone ring. She''s such a nice person to deal with. She''s making something special for me right now.....

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Oh yes, Sally is great to work with! I can''t wait to get my lotus setting and froggie! I suspect I''ll be going back to her for some more garnet projects in the future

Of course moonstones count. If anyone has a problem with that, I'll put my boxing gloves on.

What would the froggy earrings look like? Froggy hanging off the moonstone or Froggy on the ear with the moonstone dangling?

 

[Kaleigh]

I adore moonstones. I love the froggy necklace. The earrings from what I can see look fabulous.

 

[ma re]

A wonderful piece! I''ve always had a thing for these fairly accurate representations of nature in jewellery. Love it!

 

[cushioncutnut]

Yes Indeed it counts!!!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

My froggie and lotus setting are done! Yay! They ship from Sally next week, I can''t wait to get my pad set and finally get to wear it! And I hope my future mother in law will like the froggie

If your MIL doesn''t like Froggie, he has a good home with me. It''s a little whimsical but still pretty.

MTG, I am sooooooooooooooooo excited to see your gorgeous pad in the lotus setting. Please take tons of pictures ok? I know it is going to look gorgeous

Please take lots of pictures of Mr. Froggy too. He is too darn cute. The moonstone will be so beautiful.

Hehe, I''m not above keeping it for myself if she doesn''t like it

Why wouldn't it? Someone (Mochi?) even has a Leon moonstone ring. Nice frog! I like frogs.
