Lampwork beads inspired this copper wire and bead chain creation. The golden and brown tones match well with copper. I also decided to include stone beads that would also match well such as tiger-eye, amber, black onyx, and goldstone.

To make a similar necklace, you will need the following tools and supplies:

About 70 inches of 24-gauge copper wire
*4 - 12mm Lampwork beads in black/brown/gold
15 - 8mm Goldstone beads
16 - 4mm Black onyx beads
4 - 4mm Tiger-eye beads
24 Amber chips
Ruler
Bead board
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers

*The beads used in this project came from Corina Beads
