Over the past several days, I have made several necklaces from beads and gemston
e chips that are in inventory. The first completed necklace was made for my daughter in law as her birthday is this month. April birthstone is diamond, since I could not make this with diamonds, I substituted rock crystal chips. The chain and clasp are Sterling Silver.
Next I took some Fire Opal chips and strung them on 7 strand Beadlon gold colored crinkle wire. These chips are exceptionally beautiful and have a wonderful play of color.
Lastly, some calsilica beads (enamelled clay fired beads) with a unique coloring were inspiring me to use bright blue artistic wire to make all components of thi
s necklace in the shop. Working with metal, in this case wire, is terrific as I get to create my unique interpretation of the stones.
Going to make a bracelet in multimetals and use cold connections. This will make my first foray into cold connections for a major piece.
