Gemstone beads make wonderful accents to all kinds of components. In this necklace, Cynthia paired an eye-catching tube bead with large round powder blue impression jasper beads from Dakota Stones. The gemstones bring a lovely accent of color to the shining silver components. She balanced out the look with bold chain for added length and style.
Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 16 inches. Slide a sterling silver 2x2mm crimp tube onto the end of the wire, followed by a 4-inch length of stainless steel large oval cable chain. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide the crimp with a sterling silver 3mm crimp cover.

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!
