Showcase fantastic Dakota Stones gemstone pieces with some clever wire-wrapping techniques. Cheri used some simple wire tricks to showcase the pendants in her necklace perfectly. You can see more ideas for simple wire-wrapping in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Lay the three Dakota Stones turquoise and bronzite rectangle pendants you want to use for your necklace out on your work surface. This will determine how long the bars of wire you create will need to be. Cut a piece of 20 Gauge Vintage Bronze Artbeads Designer Wire a little longer to allow for the coils. Cut your shorter bar of wire first and coil the ends. Then, make another 20 gauge bar that's a little longer.

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!
