Though I can say I’m very happy with the results, I have to admit for my life style, this necklace is a little too fancy for every day wear. So, it got me to thinking about how I could make a similar necklace but tone it down a little so I could wear it almost anywhere. Thus was born my Chain and Bead Elegant Necklace. Read on to see the necklace I was inspired to design and instructions so you can make one as well.
Chain and Bead Elegant Necklace
By Tammy Powley, About.com Guide
If you read my article about the book entitled Beaded Elegance, then you know how impressed I was with the beautiful designs described in the book. I finally got a chance to make my own Beaded Elegant Necklace using instructions I combined from a few of the projects in the book. I used AB jet Czech crystals and black Japanese seed beads to create this beautiful piece.
