Wine Country Necklace
I was so blown away by our new Fire Polished Crystals that I had to try them in a necklace! This showstopper features three strands of Light Sapphire, Blue and Purple Luster Czech Crystals with Silver Filigree Rounds, Aurora Glass Pearls, and Silver Spacers. They hang from a Mulberry Silk Ribbon; tie it in a knot or a bow at any length you like. –Dannie, Customer Service

Directions:
Step 1. Cut three pieces of Soft Flex, measuring 14 inches, 13 inches, and 12 inches. Take the 14 inch piece and string the following: one Crimp Bead, four 4mm Purple Luster Crystals, one Bicone, and three 8mm Purple Luster Crystals. Then string one Filigree Round, three 8mm Purple Luster Crystals, one Bicone, and three 8mm Purple Luster Crystals. Repeat this pattern two more times, then string one Filigree Round, three 8mm Purple Luster Crystals, one Bicone, four 4mm Purple Luster Crystals, and one Crimp Bead. Set aside.
Step 2. Take the 13 inch piece and string one Crimp Bead and four 4mm Blue Luster Crystals. Then string one Tiny Spacer, one Pearl, one Tiny Spacer, and five 8mm Blue Luster Crystals. Repeat this pattern three more times, then string one Tiny Spacer, one Pearl, one Tiny Spacer, four 4mm Blue Luster Crystals, and one Crimp Bead. Set aside.
Step 3. Take the 12 inch piece and string one Crimp Bead, three 4mm Light Sapphire Crystals, one Tiny Spacer, and two 8mm Light Sapphire Crystals. Then, string one Bicone and four 8mm Light Sapphire Crystals. Repeat this pattern three more times, then string one Bicone, two 8mm Light Sapphire Crystals, one Tiny Spacer, three 4mm Light Sapphire Crystals, and one Crimp Bead.
Step 4. Begin attaching the strands to the Rings, starting with the Light Sapphire Strand. Bring the piece of Soft Flex through one Ring and back through the Crimp Bead. Crush with Crimping Pliers and trim excess Soft Flex. Attach the Blue Luster strand to the right of the Light Sapphire, then the Purple Luster. Repeat on the other ends with the other Ring.
Step 5. Cut the Silk Ribbon in half on a slight diagonal. Make a lark’s head knot with each piece through the Rings and tie as you wish. Enjoy! |
