Falling Leaf Necklace
About this design:
Now that the weather is finally getting cooler here, I wanted to use a fall-inspired color palette for this weeks design. I paired African Opal with some of the new Czech glass & seed bead colors, and I love the way it turned out! I made a ton of bead links & attached them together until I reached the length I wanted. Lastly, I added the tiny pavé leaf charm to add a bit of sparkle.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Czech Glass Prairie Green Etched Bicones
- 6/0 Seed Beads (see below for the one's I used)
- African Opal Large Hole Nuggets
- Gold Pave Leaf Charm
- Gold Lobster Clasp
- Gold Jump Rings

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Make bead Links with the seed beads, Czech glass, & African Opal- connect them directly to one another. Continue attaching the links until you've reached your desired length. Attach the charm to one of the loops with a jump ring. See Tip: Make a Wire Wrapped Bead Link |

Crystal Canary says:The natural feel of the African Opal paired with the Czech etched glass bicones is an appealing combination. The contrasts play well together. Very nice piece.
