This is my first attempt at wire crochet and I am very impressed with the outcome. I have used silver plated copper wire and over 300 beads to create this necklace. They are mainly Amethyst chips, freshwater pearls in peacock, blue and magenta colours, some small Hematite and Sodalite beads and a variety of other small glass beads. Click on the photo to see the detail.
You cannot see on the photograph but I have used two pretty, Tibetan silver bead cones and a silver plated lobster clasp and extension chain, to finish off the back of the necklace. This one has a new home.
Update: I have now tried these necklace, and matching bracelets and earrings, in a variety of colours and they are all exquisite. I have already mastered a range called Autumn Glory (Autumn colours obviously), a range called First Frost (Monochrome colours) and another called Falling summer rain (Pale blue/aquamarine) but I can, and will, be trying other colours, including some using Garnets, Peridot etc. If you are interested in this style of jewellery, I can make you a set in the colours of your choice. I have made some necklaces slightly shorter than the one in the picture and this is preferable for some people. I have also tended to make the necklaces and bracelets with more strands than in this picture.
The cost of these necklaces can vary, depending on the semi-precious stones used. As a guide, prices range for approximately £20.00. Bracelets will run at around £13.00 to £14.00 and Earrings will cost around £9.50 to £12.00.
Quality presentation boxes can be provided at an additional cost (£2 for necklace).
