jewelry rework
I had a old necklace that I've never really liked. It had a simple silver chain with a bundle of beads in a messy clump at the bottom and a big turquoise pendant underneath the clump. I decided it would make a nice rework. I cut all the little beads off the clump and distributed them onto a new chain and then attached the pendant onto the bottom. I am tickled with how it turned out.
The beginning
This is the first piece I completed. I started several other pieces before this but decided I didn't like them much and pulled them apart.
The seed beads I used started out a variety of metal colors: copper, gold, silver and metallic blues, greens and purples. I wore the necklace out in the sun one day and all the metallics faded to silver, so now the nekclace is silver with blue, green and purple. I guess that is what i get for using cheap beads from walmart.
