About this design:
I wanted to do something with the metal disks, so this design was created. I didn’t have a chain ready at hand so I joined jumprings together and created the chain.
Components:
Lapis, Azurite-Malachite, Metal disk, 5mm Jumprings, Metal clasp, Craft wireRead the comments (or add your own)
