Green for Saint Patrick's Day!
my little canoe/sailboatbelieve it or not, you can actually make jewelry with the seemingly crude building tools that second life gives you - no I haven't actually made one, but I'm learning.
a while ago I made this canoe/sailboat with the building tools, it's fair simple (just gotta watch your coordinates and you're fine). jewlery however is different, using what is called "tiny prims" (prims being the units that make up the object), one use a tweak of texture to produce what looks likes gem stones - sometimes by h0llowing out a basic shape, other times by slicing or tapering it.
you then link the tiny prims together to produce a whole object - be it a necklace, bracelet or earing.
There are also scripts that help you along, so far I found Ariane Brondie's "Necklace Generator" which will allow you to generate a series of objects facing the center in a circle, ideal for necklaces ( as the name implies). The creator of this script has also used it to make flexi skirts, which are tricky because of they flutter as you walk, unlike non-flexi skirts which doesn't change shape. (the skirt I'm wearing above for example is a flexi skirt)
