FAUX GEMSTONE NECKLACE


My favorite toy is Suze Weinberg's Melting Pot. Ultra thick embossing powder (UTEE) is one of the best mediums in the world to make jewelry with. The best part is that it's lightweight as compared to genuine gemstones. The chip beads and coin beads on this necklace are genuine gemstones. The blue stones in the gold settings were made with UTEE. The gold settings are also UTEE. I had a square plastic button that I took apart and using Mold N Pour made two molds, one for the setting and one for the square stone.

  3. My birthday is in December and the gemstone is turquoise. I wonder how hard it would be to make that from UTEE?
