ARE YOU ALLOWED TO CALL THEM UGLY? - THE REALLY UGLY CABOCHON NECKLACE!

I have to say that I really didn't 

warm to this cabochon at first. 

I ordered a few different types online 

and you never really know

what they will be like until they

arrive. 

YUK! I thought to myself 

that is one horrible cabochon!

One to go to the back of my bead drawer and 

never see the light of day again... 

but somehow, I have ended up 

making a necklace from it, 

and, the shocking part is here, 

actually liking it!

Not only do I like it but I have

 worn it a lot, and by a lot I mean

practically all summer!

It's brown as well so I can see myself wearing it 

throughout the Autumn too.

It might be ugly

 but it's found a little place in my heart!

THE SPECIAL CABOCHON NECKLACE COMPLETED!

I used the 

 labradorite

 cabochon

that I had bought

 a long time ago,

 but never knew 

what to do with,

for this project.

I had originally 

intended

 to make a more elaborate 

design but 

decided to keep things

simple 

and let the stone

 do the talking.

As you can see

 from the pics

the beautiful 'flash' 

of blue that emerges 

from the cabochon is pretty 

and I wanted that to be the focal point

rather than adding 

a lot of embellishment. 

I'm so, so, happy to have 

used this cab at last!
