The fascinating colors found in the Dakota Stones gemstone beads at the center of this design are perfectly complemented by vibrant silk ribbon and coppery findings. Cynthia used the beads from a graduated collar set to create this necklace and the Snoqualmie and Clear Creek designs, as well. As Cynthia shows, these gemstone sets go a long way in making your style stand out.
Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately ten inches long. Slide a 2x2mm copper crimp tube onto the wire, followed by a TierraCast solid copper open round jump ring. Go back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Use a 3mm antique copper crimp cover to hide the crimp.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
