Czech glass beads come in so many finishes, including earthy tones. This necklace features Picasso-finish Czech glass paired with gemstone accents and a bold fishhook pendant. You can watch Cynthia create this necklace and learn more about Czech glass finishes in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 10 inches long. Slide a sterling silver 2x2mm crimp tube bead onto the end of the wire, followed by the loop of a JBB 3mm antique sterling silver fancy crimp end cap with loop. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.
Add the antique silver-plated large fishhook pendant to the strand using a sterling silver 19 gauge 7mm precision cut open jump ring. Then, make a mirror image of the bead pattern on the other side of the pendant.

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!
