Earthy gemstone colors are a beautiful accent to any jewelry design. Cynthia used Dakota Stones fossil coral and crazy lace agate along with Czech glass to complement the beautiful brass pendant at the center of this necklace.
Punch a hole at the top of the brass nouveau leaf embellishment using hole punch pliers. Add a TierraCast 6mm brass oxide open round jump ring to the hole you created and set aside for now.
Cut a 2-foot length of jewelry wire. Slide a TierraCast 2x2mm brass oxide brass crimp tube on one end, followed by a jump ring attached to half of the TierraCast brass oxide pewter Flora toggle clasp set. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide the crimp with a TierraCast antique copper 3mm crimp cover.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities.
