Signs of Spring Necklace
About this design:
For this design, I used pink agate, crystals, and chrysoprase nuggets to create a springtime inspired necklace. I made this to be a choker, but it would also look great as a longer necklace!
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Bead Stringing Wire
- Chrysoprase Nugget Slices
- Czech Glass Gold Spacers
- Crystal Rondelles 4mm
- Pink Agate Heishi's
- Crimp Tubes
- Jump Rings
- Lobster Clasp
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: On a 15" piece of the beading wire (I made this choker length, but it can be made longer), string the beads on in the order shown in the picture. To finish, make a loop at each end and secure with a crimp tube. |
