Vintaj cabochon necklace

by Jeanne S on 01/09/13

Bigger Photo

About this design:

I made this a few years ago without the patina. Today I took off the leaf, flower, dragonfly, and clasp and added Vintaj patinas and glaze. I think it looks much more interesting. The hardest part was attaching the cab from the back. I used some oval jump rings.

Components:

Vintaj focal pendant, Vintaj 18 x 13 cab setting wired through back, aventurine cab, Vintaj dragonfly, Vintaj small leaf, Vintaj patinas, Vintaj, bead cap, brass chain, Vintaj clasp (painted and reliefed), homemade polymer clay bead, Swarovski crystal.

Very nice! The patina pieces jump off the lilypad and grab your attention. It looks very 3-d.
