These handcrafted bead and gemstone necklaces using tumbled stone pendants are designed by one of our Georgia jewelry artisans ~ Nanette Cookson
EarthTones by Nanette - Each piece of this collection is as unique as nature. They all began their journey the same way, as rough rock pulled from the ground. The process of breaking, grinding, shaping and polishing the stones takes 1-2 months. Three pounds of rough stone will usually yield 5-10 individual pendants and earrings that are true gifts of the Earth. I do little pre-shaping and let the natural action of the stones and polishing media determine the final shape. When you wear EarthTones, you are truly wearing a piece of nature. Enjoy! ~ Nanette Cookson
