It's not so much that I like jewelry stuff rough as I like it flowing and organic, with movement. That opal bracelet I showed you - the wavy silver one with the uneven channels of opal - that's sort of my ideal piece, and the triangular necklet with the branches and the opal buds is a close second.

What's funny is that the bracelet I'm making with the beads is theoretically much to symmetrical etc., but between the irregularities in the hand-knotting and the little freshwater pearls you supplied, it's got enough of an outside-the-box feel for me!
