Amethyst Nautilus Pendant
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Whimsical


Materials

Sterling wire, faceted amethyst beads, sterling beads, keishi pearls, swarovski crystals

What was your inspiration?

The gorgeous shape of a nautilus shell and these amethyst beads I had recently purchased. Purple is my favorite color, and amethyst is my favorite stone.

What are you most proud of?

The fact that I cannot draw but have to use my fingers to work out a design with no help but my imagination.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

At the current price of silver, I would advise to try any project in copper before transitioning to silver.

How lovely!! Isn't nature such a wonderful inspiration? I enjoy using these elements as well. You did a wonderful job 'drawing' with the wire. I'm working a custom order for a husband giving his wife a birthday present. He asked for black Tahitian pearls and silver wire. I only have 10 really nice ones and surprising one of the shapes I'm playing with is similar to yours!! [Tying the sea theme into the pearls] But I saw your pretty piece and thought: 'her birthday is March, and I could include her birthstone to fill out the shape'. Blessings, Holly
