Juanita and I recently acquired some new strands of Apatite beads. Juanita picked out some chunky rondelles and I picked out some small, irregularly cut beads. Apatite is one of my new favorites right now because of it’s intense, bright aqua color. it’s incredible saturated and mixes well with an aray of other stones. Here a few necklaces we’ve made with our new purchases:
Apatite Rondelles with Marquis Links (sterling silver)
Irregular cut Apatite with one white Pearl (sterling silver)
Here is a pair of earrings that use the Apatite beads to brighten up a cluster of other darker stones:
24 Karat Gold Vermeil with Apatite, Kyanite, Laborodite and Tourmaline
I love how the brightness of the Apatite brings out the bright flashes of blue in the primarily gray Laborodite, and even the Kyanite (which you sadly can’t see much of in the picture) is more brilliant.
