Bella on Steroids!!

So, once I had made a few Bella's, we received some new Chinese crystal beads in the shop. They were huge bi-cones beads! Perfect for making a HUGE Bella! So I tried it and it worked! I had to get a pretty big pearl to fit in the middle but I like how it turned out!

Simplicity

Where I live it seems the chunkier the jewelry the better! So every now and then I like to go back to something delicate and simple. My friend Cassie inspired me for this design and she was inspired by a certain high-end catalog. But I have definitely made it my own.

This will be another class I will teach at Silk Petals in Farmington, Utah in August. The technique you will learn here is how to coil wire, and coil and coil! It is just another way to connect beads into a chain or charm or earrings and much less chance of it falling apart on you.

This necklace is made with fresh water pearls pewter charms and Swarovski crystals with a stainless steel chain that is one of my absolute favorites!

This class will be kitted and the cost will be $35 at Silk Petals.

To purchase already made is $50

I hope you enjoy this one. I think it will become one of my "go to" necklaces.

What are some of your "go to" jewelry?
