Agate, Pearl, and Ammonite fossil necklace for Zoe.
I made the dark agate sections first, then gave Zoe her choice between pearl, amber, faux sapphire, and amethyst to go inbetween the agate.
She also had three fossils to chose from and decided she wanted to emphasise the grey tones.

Ancient Necklace with Mosaic Glass Beads, from the Eastern Mediterranean, c.100 BCE-100 CE: this necklace is composed of 30 glass beads, most of which are decorated with stylized faces
From the John Paul Getty Museum:
The beads are made of multi-colored opaque glass and are decorated with heads and floral designs. The necklace is in good condition; some beads are chipped or cracked.
The exact origin of this piece is unknown, but it can be traced back to the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was likely made by a Greek or Roman artist.
Each bead has a width of about 1.2cm (roughly half an inch); they're decorated with remarkably intricate details, and each face is depicted in its own unique style.

Necklace for a visiting friend. Roman style necklace, 22” inches, peridot, dark purple amethyst, and warm coloured pearls on gold craft wire.
Green, Gold, and Purple are her heraldic colours. Was originally going to do gold beads instead of pearls, but it didn’t look right.
Meant for this to be a chain for her Laurel pendants, so added a temporary pendant of carved amethyst.

‘Is there a point to any of this or do you just want to see how much more I can take?’ snaps Crassus.
‘Oh, I knew there was still some bite left in you,’ says Cethegus, thrilled.
Cethegus teaches Crassus the art of politics and the ways of business. Sulla is not a fan.

eddie immediately giving his medal to chris oh the medal trauma is real he still have survivor guilt, he still hates being decorated for doing his job, he still doesn’t feel worthy and he can still hear the screams and the gunshots every time he touches a medal. but on his sweet perfect kid that never touched a gun, that never had to fly on a chopper to save people? that medal fits perfectly he deserves it even, for being his strength for being his unbloody medal, his biggest prize, for being his heart out of his body and his good luck charm.

I made this one last December when I was listening about the roman punic wars while watching a beautiful sunset from my window and suddenly I thought of doom and prophecy and then this was just sitting here waiting for some colors. So here it is the dreamer herself, Daenys!!
