Copper Cross and Mixed Beads Necklace

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Traditional, Whimsical


Materials

Copper cross charm pendant, Botswana Agate, Amazonite Briolettes, Red and purple lampwork beads, mixed beads in light green, purple and brass.

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to make something with the cross pendant and charms.

What are you most proud of?

It was my first time wiring briolettes, so there was a learning curve. I like how they lay sideways in contrast to the other beads.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be careful when wiring a headpin to briolettes, it is easy to crack them at the top where they are fragile.
