Project details:

I designed this necklace around this great Gaea ceramic focal piece. I paired it with Czech glass. porcelain, and bead chain. I think the combination of colors really makes the focal piece stand out!

Supplies you’ll need:

Bead Chain
Brass Cable Chain
Beading Wire
Crimp Tubes
Czech Glass Rondelles
Czech Glass Gold Spacers
Gaea Ceramic Spring Bundle
Porcelain Rondelles
Gold Seed Beads
Gold Headpin
Gold 3mm Jump Rings
Gold Chain
Lobster Clasp

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Attach a 4" piece of the stringing wire to each side of the focal. I did this by sliding a crimp onto the wire, looping the wire through the loop on the focal and back up through the crimp, and then clamping the crimp down with pliers. *optional* I wrapped the loops on the focal with lilac waxed linen.

Step 2

On each side, string on a Czech gold spacer, a green turquoise rondelle, and another gold spacer. Bring the two pieces of wire together and slide on a gold spacer, the blue rondelle from the Gaea set, a gold spacer, the polka dot bead, another gold spacer, a green turquoise rondelle, and another spacer. Separate the strands and slide on the beads in the order shown in the picture.

Step 3

Attach each side to a 7" piece if brass chain & bead chain.

Step 4

For the additional necklace, I slid the rose bead from the Gaea bundle onto a headpin with a gold spacer above & below it. Make a loop at the top of the headpin with round nose pliers & trim off the excess. Attach it to two 2" pieces of gold chain, and attach two 4.5" pieces of the bead chain to the gold chain.
