Oldies But Goodies Challenge - End Date 10/8 - PUMPKINS

[caeterle]

This week's Oldies but Goodies Theme Challenge is PUMPKINS. We last did that in 2018. Allowed are pumpkins, for example pumpkin shaped beads, but of course also pumpkin colors.
Go through your stash and post a picture in this thread that pertains to the theme. It can be something you made yesterday or something you made five years ago. We encourage you to post as many items as you want. Can't make it much simpler.

We hope to see a lot of creative pics of your PUMPKIN jewelry.

We'd love to have more members participate in this easy, fun challenge. Won't you join us?

The Oldies but Goodies Challenges will last two weeks, so you have enough time to share your items! To make it easier, the end date is in the subject now.

Actual pumpkins





And some pumpkin color.

I love your pumpkins. The pendant before last is has a beautiful stone. Is this an Agate?

[DawninCal]

Awww, I love your cute Halloween items, Cat! I agree with Irith about that stone; it's gorgeous and so is the setting.

Thank you, Irith and Dawn!

The stone was sold as a fire agate which it isn't. Kevin said it was a crab agate, sometimes also called fire crab agate - a trade name - which describes a treated spiderweb carnelian.
I had no clue back when I bought it, but the price was okay, no rip off. I liked the tie-dye look and still do.

Yes, some of these stones can be tricky to identify and we end up having to take the seller's word for it. I guess that's why so many unknown stones end up being identified as some type of jasper. Luckily, most buyers don't seem to care unless they pay a fortune for something like turquoise that turns out to be dyed howlite.

Here are a few from me. I only have one pumpkin pendant so orange or Halloween themes will have to do for the rest.

They work perfectly! I don't think I had ever seen the pumpkin before.

My favorite are the ghosts, so cute!

[DawninCal]

Thanks, Cat!

The pumpkin was for one of our challenges, but it was two years ago so I can see it not looking familiar. I have never got around to making it into a necklace which is something I really need to do. Here it is fall and the perfect time to list it.

Loving all of this pumpkin jewelry, ladies! Cat, the crab agate is just gorgeous. I’m also quite partial to the witch.

Dawn, such lovely pieces. Your wire pumpkin is delightfully organic.

I knew my pumpkin creations were minimal, but I did find one that fits:

[Irith-Rita]

Beautiful pumokins Dawn and Michelle. I had a pumpkin orange glass and silver necklace once, and it was sold. Can't find the photograph.

[caeterle]

You absolutely should, Dawn! You never got around to the chain, lol. Makes me feel so much better about taking years to put clasps on stuff.

Thank you, Michelle! The agate really talked to my hippie side (which misses her favorite tie-dye t-shirt from the first big US fleamarket ever very much).
You may have found just one item, but that one really works perfectly. The chain and the "pumpkin bead", so pretty!

[Irith-Rita]

[caeterle]

Oh wow, Irith. The necklace is beautiful, but the combo of opal and carnelian (?) in the pendant is breathtaking.

[Irith-Rita]

Thank you so much Cat. Here's another "pumpkin". Thw stone is an orange Agate.
