Handmade Bracelet in Amethyst and Obsidian

This bracelet was really fun to make. I knew i had found a large stash of small nugget and chip amethyst after I had started working on the last two necklaces, so I had leftover obsidian and this nicely colored amethyst. I was toying with ideas on pattern and how I wanted it to be strung.

I decided on shiny steel wire links to hold it all together in a simple (AOA) (OAO) pattern, with a handmade swirl hook closure that is not prone to accidentally coming unhooked. I really love this kind of hook closure because of its stability and it also looks good.

This beautiful necklace is another variation of the last copper necklace. I really enjoy making these, there is so many options on how to pair them up with other materials

Layered Fringe Necklaces

They even layer well together. This would be really cute wearing even a plain t-shirt or a strappy little black dress.It is o easily adapted to different choices.

I had a stash of Toho beads and obsidian chip beads that really play up the boho-care-free easyness of the project. Necklace measures 17 inches and will be in my etsy shop soon.

Simple materials:

your favorite chip beads or nugget beads

your wire fringe

Elegant Rustic Statement in Copper and Black

 Copper and glass bead statement necklace. 

I love to ball the ends of wire with a torch. the simplicity of a line and circle can be so attractive and mixed in different ways. This one is spaced with small glass beads to give the copper flair a bit of room. 

I could easily see this pared up with almost any type of outfit - the length is completely adjustable! The wire segments also follow the contours of your collar bone if it is worn that short. Really beautiful
