Urban Filigree Necklace and Earrings

February 13, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment

I love the look of antiqued bronze.  When combined with turquoise colored beads, a bit of sparkle and pearl it gives this piece a unique combination of urban, organic and timeless.  To compliment this combination further, I used a sueded cord for the necklace.

This piece is astonishingly simple to make.  Blue Moon Beads provides a faux suede cord, already finished with a lobster clasp and 'cheater chain' to manipulate the 16" length as desired.  I liked the shorter length of the cord because I wanted the focal point to be longer than usual to make up the difference.

I simply hung the trio of drops from an oval jump ring at the bottom of the enameled filigree focal point and placed another oval jump ring at the top, to string onto the sueded cord.

I threaded the faceted beads, with a small jump ring in-between onto the antiqued bronze finish eye pin and wire wrapped them and attached to the ear wires.

The elongated antiqued bronze drops were removed from a strand of these and attached to the eye pins with jump rings.

The finished piece has a lovely combination of matte, lustre and just a bit of sparkle.

Here are the items I used to make this jewelry ensemble:

  • ZN-001-0051 FJ NECK 16” LINEN/FAUX SUEDE BRN
    16” Faux suede necklace
  • ZP-002-00171 BMB PNDT MTL/ENML FLGR GRN OXB

    Two faceted small acrylic, and
    Two medium faceted faux turquoise beads
  • ZC-001-00041 UW CHARM MTL TDRP DANGLE OXB
    Two drops and jump rings removed from chain

I really enjoyed how quickly this came together with such a nice result.  Expect to see more jewelry from me in the coming days.

About Sally Lynn MacDonald
