This necklace uses crystal bicone beads in a different sort of way, making strung wire shapes as accents. You could easily get creative with this, making bows or butterflies or other such things. I stuck with a simple loopy flower.
The copper findings work perfectly with this Swarovski crystal color mix called “Mojave.” It does indeed put me in mind of sunrises in the Mojave desert.
The colors in the mix are Light Smoked Topaz, Light Amethyst, Sand Opal and Indian Sapphire.
Enjoy the video and happy creating!

Oh, you’re right; I do love the colors. Anything but white, eh?
Oh, all the white is quite sparkly and beautiful, but I’m definitely ready for something new. As are our cats, they’re going bonkers.
