Some of the nicest jewelry designs come about by pulling together a bunch of odds and ends. Bits of chain and charms work especially well for this technique.

This time around I made the necklace asymmetrical, balancing the large round shapes on one side with some wire wrapped beads on the other.

Enjoy the video and happy creating!

Materials:

• 2 – 12 to 14 inch lengths of chain in two different styles
• lobster clasp
• jump rings
• assorted decorative metal rings (I used a 20mm twisted wire round, a 15mm hammered round and four 10mm x 15mm hammered ovals.)
• 6 8mm top drilled Swarovski crystal bicone beads (mine are cyclamen opal)
• 6 6mm top drilled Swarovski crystal bicone beads (mine are lavender)
• 3-5 assorted charms
• 24 gauge wire

Tools:

• chain nose pliers
• round nose pliers
