Christmas gift for my ten year-old niece. Although this piece is a one-of-a-kind, similar pieces could be made using the same techniques.
The necklace “chain” is made of 1/8″ ribbon, knotted to hold the ceramic and glass beads in place.

Based on a design from one of my favorite bead suppliers, eebeads.com, these antique copper “melody” links form a uniquely beautiful chain. Embellished with rice-shaped glass pearls, indicolite Swarovski® crystals, and a single copper-plated heart.
Necklace: $70
Earrings:$8
Freshwater pearl substitution: +$5
Now available at Etsy!
