Project details:

I think the gold chain used in this necklace really makes the amazonite stand out, and the assorted cluster of beads in the center adds a nice pop of color.

Supplies you’ll need:

Brazil Amazonite Side-Drilled Nugget
Madagascar Amazonite Faceted Rondelles
Antique Gold Hammered Jump Ring 13mm
Gold Headpins
Gold 22 Gauge Wire
Gold 3mm Jump Rings
Gold Chain Tassel
Gold Spacers
Gold 28 Gauge Wire
Gold Chain
Assorted Beads

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Make a bead link with the 22 gauge gold wire. Slide on 3 amazonite nuggets, separated by gold spacers.

Step 2

Attach the tassel to the bottom with a 3mm jump ring. I removed the top two beads of the tassel to make it a bit shorter.

Step 3

Using the 3mm jump rings, attach a 1/2" piece of chain from the top of the amazonite link to the bottom of the hoop. With the headpins, make bead charms with your assorted beads. Each charm should have 1-2 beads on it. Slide 3-4 charms onto a 3mm jump ring, and attach the jump ring to the chain. Repeat this until you have as many clusters as you'd like.

Step 4

Attach two 9" pieces of chain to the hoop with the 3mm jump rings. In between the two pieces of chain, wire wrap four amazonite rondelles around the top of the hoop.
