Frances remade her copper-wrapped agate cabochon into a beautiful new necklace.

Frances says:

"This is one of those occasions where I felt the need to revamp a bracelet that I made. I had entered my bracelet in the 2011 Gold Club "OOAK" Contest, but was not really happy with the sideways look of the Mexican lace agate. Also the bracelet did not move freely.

I had to get brave and start taking apart the bracelet to decide what it was going to end up as. So I decided to revamp it and came up with this necklace. It really shows off the beauty of the agate cab.

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" is what I was thinking. Of course, I have already sold the piece."
