A friend of mine, from sculpture class is realy into the structure of gems, which always worked its way into her peices. This inspired me to create a necklace based off of her sculptures.
A friend of mine, from sculpture class is realy into the structure of gems, which always worked its way into her peices. This inspired me to create a necklace based off of her sculptures.
Use a pair of round nosed pliers to loop the end of a head pin.
Measure and cut a piece of chain to be about yae big around your neck.
Attach the loop of the head pin to an end of the chain.
about a third of the way along the head pin bend the wire, useing pliers, at a 90 degree angle.
Do the same about half way from the remaining head pin, but bend it until you create a full triangle.
Take a gem bead of your choice and skewer it with another head pin.
Using pliers, loop the head pin around the gem, while leaving a little remaining at the end.
Bend the remaining wire so that it is aligned with the gem.
Use the round nosed pliers to loop the remaiing wire and attach it to the other end of the chain.... And in order to put the necklace on hold it behind you then bring each end of the necklace to the front (each end to each side of your neck), then simply drop the gem into the center of the triangle
