Kyanite is a lovely, lustrous mineral. Varying from blue to green with pearly white streaks, it looks especially good with denim! This simple bracelet and earring set matches the Blue Jean Queen necklace on page 14 of the January-February 2009 issue of Step by Step Beads. In addition to kyanite beads, you'll need faceted round hematite beads, silver round beads, split rings, Bali silver daisy spacers, clamshell bead tips, crimp beads, and a silver toggle clasp to complete this "wear with everything" jewelry design.
