This necklace showcases a hand-painted focal bead with help from a perfectly matched Jesse James Beads mix and PRESTIGE Crystal beads.
Cut the head off of a head pin and make a wrapped loop at the bottom of the pin. Add a Jet AB 2x bicone to the wire, followed by a daisy spacer from the Jesse James Beads mix, the hand-painted focal, and a Jet AB 2x bicone. Make a simple loop at the top of the beads.
Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 18 inches long. Slide the focal onto the center of the wire. Add the following bead pattern to one side of the focal:
Make a mirror image of the pattern on the other side of the focal
Add a crimp tube to one end of the necklace. Bring the wire through a jump ring attached to half of the clasp and back through the crimp tube. Crimp in place. Repeat on the other end of the necklace.

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!
