Mood Swings Necklace
by Andrea at Lima on 01/20/22
About this design:
I created this necklace that will match whatever mood I'm in:)This necklace has interchangeable components. I used lobster clasps on the necklace portion so I can change up the style of chain and I used them on the pendant coins so I can easily switch those out too.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
You will need: • 1-4 gemstone coin pendants • 1/2 strand of a multi gemstone 6mm round • 10lb hemp or waxed cord - I added both into the list below, use your fave • 2 packs of twisted jump rings • 2 small lobster clasps and as many large clasps as you need for coin pendants • crimp tubes and covers • 1 pewter bird bead • 17 patina spacer beads • 1 gold stardust beads • 3 styles of Nunn Design antique gold beads - one of each • 1 CZ teardrop charm • gold eye pins • 1 ft of your fave chain styles - I listed a few below • 1 pack of split jump rings • 1 silver nugget bead Recommended tools: Collapsible Needle

Crystal Canary says:Very cool! The colorful multi-gemstone necklace lends itself well to interchangeable focals. I like the use of the Nunn gold elements in the design too. This is a fantastic idea!

FromTheBunker says:I shopped my “closet” to find things that approximate this design. I went in a more organic direction with ruby zoisite, sponge coral and various stones in different shapes and sizes. I picked out more nuggets than round gemstones and am using antique brass daisy spacers. And I am making my own chain out of 7 mm jump rings.
