Opulent Beaded Smoky Agate Necklace

The gorgeous blend of colors on the necklace enhances the smooth texture of this smoky agate pendant. The double straps are strung using superstrong fishing line. Composition of different beads and sizes such as gold metal tubes, wooden beads and polished cat's eye chips lend to the uniqueness of the necklace, while metallic multi-toned black, brown and faint pink hexcut beads are accompanied by black seed beads.

A textured golden metal disc hangs on the other end of the necklace adding another area of interest while it's weight allows it to hang nicely at the nape of the neck.
The tassle of cat-eye chips at the end of the pendant provides movement to enhance the character of this piece of jewelry.

It's circumference measuring 64cm, the necklace is long enough to easily slip over the head. Quite a weighty piece, this necklace drapes beautifully against curves of a woman's body. Pendant measures 4cm.

Daisy Pendant

Spent some time away from pliers, wires and beads to work on some other projects. Although I did have some accessories made last month , I just didn't manage to find the time to snap photos and upload them.

This daisy pendant with the Azurite stone in the middle is made of sterling silver wires. The petals were created using pliers and though they don't look identical, that adds to the charm of this piece. I sold this shortly after creating it. I hope the new owner loves it as much as I had fun making it.

Had some good comments on similar pendants using other stones such as amethyst, glass beads, and just spiraled wire. Young ladies generally liked them and thought they were 'sweet'.

They were fairly simple to make, mostly taking 5 to 10 minutes per flower, depending on the stiffness of the wires used. I would do them when I had not much ideas of what else to create. Guess time spent making them also helped to inspire other designs.
