This necklace combines a chunky rough faceted amethyst pendant with howlite, pearls, crystals, and sterling silver. I used a number of simple wire techniques to create this necklace. I think the combination of beads really help to set off the pendant.

You will need the following:

8 - 8mm Howlite beads
4 - 6mm Gray pearls
8 - 4mm Purple pearls
8 - 4mm Purple crystal beads
1 Amethyst pendant
4 - 8mm Sterling cone beads
About 2 feet of 22-gauge sterling wire
*1 - 12mm Square sterling toggle clasp
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers
Jeweler's files

*My toggle clasp included jump rings on it, but if your does not come with jump rings, you'll need 2 - 7mm sterling jump rings.
