About this design:
I made this one too for myself. I wear it when I want to dress up a little. It is a mix of large beads from different places. Glass, ceramic and gold. I especially love the golden ones. They make it look exclusive.

Dragons Chicky says:Love this! It sits just right on your neck. What kind of wire did you use? And how much? Neckwires elude me…. and this is just perfect!!

Swedish Chick says:I used a ready made “bangle neck thingy”. They come in different diameters and I find it difficult to find the larger ones, like this one. I believe it wouldn’t be too difficult to make them yourself with wire of thicker gauge. I am planning to do that in the future so I can choose color, size and thickness all by myself.
