Techniques & Tips
- The 6 mm donuts, 4 mm daisy spacers and 3 mm sterling rounds create a nice graduated shape.
- switching from donut | spacer | round to rounds and bicones for the sides and back of this necklace make it more affordable.
- This is a 16 inch necklace, designed to sit fairly high. Adjust accordingly.
- The centre crystal hangs on a headpin. Make the dangle first, thread to the center of the cable, then add beads on one side, then the other, til you have it long enough. Then add the crimps, the clasp, and secure the crimps firmly.
