Dakota Stones star cut gemstone beads and Raven's Journey wild rose beads are a beautiful combination in this earthy necklace inspired by gardens.
Slide a Wild Rose bead onto a head pin, followed by a 2.5mm seamless sterling silver round bead and a Dakota Stones bloodstone 8mm star cut round bead. Make a wrapped loop at the top of the beads.
Attach the dangle to the end of a 1-inch length of chain using a jump ring. Attach the top of the chain to the loop at the back of the sterling silver branch pendant using another jump ring.
Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 22 inches. Slide a crimp tube onto the end of the wire, followed by half of the clasp. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide the crimp with a crimp cover.

Add the pendant to the wire and then make a mirror image of the entire bead pattern on the other side of the pendant.
Slide a crimp tube onto the end of the necklace, followed by the other half of the clasp. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide the crimp with a 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!
