Blue Lace Fan

Instructions

Take special care to keep the fan beads in proper order and right side up when stringing. These beads had a slight curve at the bottom so they actually had a right side and a wrong side.

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Romantic, Traditional, Classic


Materials

6 mm Blue Lace Agate rounds, Blue Lace Agate Fan Pendant beads, Silver-plated Brass Melon bead spacers. Beadalon medium beading wire, silver-plated findings.

What was your inspiration?

Just the fact that I have seen Blue Lace Agate jewelry on jewelry shopping channels lately selling for hundreds of dollars. The beads I used are good-quality blue lace agate which cost me a total of $14 from well-rated eBay sellers.

What are you most proud of?

That I can do much better than the shopping channels!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Shop for good quality beads, but don't overspend your budget.

I like them, too. They are a different way of adding interest rather than using a pendant.
