Materials

Rhodochrosite Nugget Beads Rhodonite Rondelle Beads Dalmatian Jasper Rondelle Beads craft wire sterling silver wire

What was your inspiration?

aga's calss of course! this was my first project from the basics section and I really wanted to practice wire wrapping and connecting beads. you can really see my wraps getting better as the necklace progresses.

What are you most proud of?

making my own clasp. I wasn't sure if you could hammer craft wire or not, so I tried it out with silver wire. turned out great, though I feel silly mixing the two in the same project.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

use beads you love to practice, practice, practice

For the figure 8 I took a piece of wire and made loops at opposite ends then hammered the piece.

Very nice! Rhodochrosite stone is very difficult to match with other stones, but you did so well combine it with the dalmation jasper stones.
