Cabernet on the Bay Necklace
About this design:
For this layered necklace, I used these new Czech Glass petal drops to create a simple focal element. I love how the amazonite looks next to the gold & purple beads, and the ruby adds a nice pop of color. For a quick way To dress up the gold chain, I placed seed beads onto jump rings & attached them to the chain links.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Beading Wire
- Gold Crimp Tubes
- Purple 11/0 Seed Beads
- Gold Jump Rings (3mm, 22 Gauge)
- Gold Chain
- Ruby Pink Agate Faceted Round 3mm
- Madagascar Amazonite Faceted Round 3mm
- Gold Lobster Clasp
- Czech Glass Autumn Metallics Rose Petal Drops
- Sweet Mint Tiny Thread Tassel

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Begin with a 10" & an 8" piece of beading wire. Attach the 10" piece of wire to one end of a 12" piece of chain by securing with a crimp tube. Slide The beads on in the order shown in the picture & attach the wire to the other end of the chain. |
|
Step 2: Repeat step 1 with the 8" piece of wire. |
|
Step 3: For the chain, I slid an 11/0 seed bead onto a 3mm jump ring & attached it to the chain link. Repeat all along the chain. I also used headpins to make bead charms with the amazonite & ruby, and attached those directly to the chain. See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm |
