Necklace with Bling
About this design:
Here's the companion piece for the bling bracelet. It has one bead that twinkles when the necklace is moved. The frame for this piece has been hanging around for a few months. I don't remember why it was never finished. Now it needs a pair of ear rings to make a set. I just have to design a frame to make them.
Components:
14ga and 24ga red brass wire, Czech glass beads, fresh water pearls, 2 small metal beadsAdditional Images:

Little Round Chick says:Thanks for the comments and compliments, Phoenix. The beads that look amber are a combo of 2 different colors and they are available from LB. The colors are fuchsia and cantaloupe. Strange combination but really gorgeous results. I have them in all 3 sizes.

Crystal Canary says:Perfect necklace to match the previously posted bracelet. I think these larger wire wrapped pieces make marvelous focals. And you’re right about the dual-colored beads–double the appeal in one bead. Their color looks great with the brass wire. Look forward to seeing the earrings to this set.

Little Round Chick says:It is great to be working again even with the limitations from my hands. CC I bought a bunch of the dual colored beads when LB first started carrying them. This combo is by far the best. Thanks everyone for all the positive remarks.

JenJouterie says:This set is beautiful, I love the colors. The fuchsia/cantaloupe beads have caught my eye before, but I didn’t think I’d like them. Wrong, they really shine in your wire work.
