Just Tourmaline

Instructions

When using nugget beads, give some thought to how they will lay when strung together. Sometimes you may need to turn the bead end-for-end to have it fit comfortably with the next bead.

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Romantic, Cute, Casual


Materials

Tourmaline nuggets and roundelles, silver-plated abacus spacers. Beadalon medium beading wire and silver-plated findings.

What was your inspiration?

I love the colors of tourmaline, although I can seldom take a photo that really does justice to those colors. These nuggets just seemed to stand on their own, with only a few tourmaline roundelles and silver spacers for a little variety in the design.

What are you most proud of?

The simplicity of the necklace to let the beauty of the tourmaline be enough.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't try to overthink it.

Sold at my recent, first-ever jewelry show and party. The lady who bought it thought it would be perfect to wear with jeans. I agree! The nuggets are certainly casual and the variety of tourmaline colors can go with anything paired with jeans.
