Geometry 101
Artist: Leena Tucker (Folsom, CA)
Honorable Mention, Gemstones & Pearls
“This necklace has the toggle in front with a 2.5" dangle. I don't like anything close around my neck, so I make longer necklaces that I find new and creative ways to make beautiful and interesting. The most interesting thing about this necklace is that I bought these onyx beads to go with some sterling silver triangle beads. When I put the design together, it just wasn't quite right. It's amazing to me how my designs are created – by trial after trial until it is exactly the way I want it to look. The earrings have a bit of a softer look. I felt the set needed something to balance the boldness of the necklace while still keeping the geometric shape in mind.” – Leena Tucker
Leena found these great triangle gemstone beads at an R&T BeadTour show – a great place to find unique items not found in our catalog or online store.
