Gilded Fringe Necklace
by Ali on 03/21/19
About this design:
This Gothic arch chandelier just called for fringe to be added. I went back and forth between using chain or charms or acetate sticks. I decided on the Mermaid and Pearl acetate sticks to bring a softer beachy look to the piece and accented the look with the gorgeous African turquoise bead chain.
Buy the supplies:
The products in this design are listed below.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Attach 3' of bead chain to the focal using either jump rings or by wire wrapping loops. Then simply attach your acetate sticks to the bottom of the arch using 4mm jump rings. See Tip: Closing A Jump Ring See Tip: Make a Wire Wrapped Bead Link |

ClovisakaLois says:Love the acetate pieces used as dangles off the pendant. I saw this type of acetate use with Zola pendants on another site today, but not the same pendant or acetate pieces you used…there are lots of options!
