Lily Pond Necklace
About this design:
For this necklace, I made bead links with Labradorite, Chrysocolla, and crystals. I love how the Chrysocolla pops among the gray tones of the other beads.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Labradorite Puff Coin 6mm
- Chrysocolla Faceted Round 6mm
- Stainless Steel Wire
- Silver Tube Focal
- Silver Organic Coins
- Electric Blue Crystal Faceted Rondelle
- Stainless Steel Oval Jump Rings
- Silver Rondelles
- Magnesite Faceted Round 4mm
- Round Nose Pliers

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: To make the focal- use the stainless steel wire to make a bead link with the silver tube. Attach Chrysocolla bead links directly to each side of the tube link. Make another link with the electric blue crystals, with silver spacers and a chrysocolla bead in the middle. Attach to each side of the silver tube with an oval jump ring. See Tip: Make a Wire Wrapped Bead Link |
|
Step 2: For the rest of the necklace, make bead links attached directly together with the labradorite coins, chrysocolla, magnesite, crystal, silver rondelles, and the silver coins. |
