Pinks

 I finished making this necklace about 2 months ago. Maybe 3? It's another 2-needle right angle weave project.



This one is made with 4mm pink glass pearls, 4mm white glass pearls, 4mm Swarovski bicone crystals in the color Padparadscha, and some size 11 silver seed beads. I bought the Padparadscha crystals quite some years ago. I don't have any left to make a matching bracelet or earrings.



So I found someone on Etsy that had them in stock and ordered more. The color has changed dramatically in the years that have gone by since the first purchase. They don't match at all. So that's the end of that.



I had this clasp in the stash too. If I remember correctly, I got it from Fire Mountain Gems. It's a box clasp. You push the pointy thing into the hole in the box. To release it, you squeeze the clasp and the pointy thing slides right out. 



I was going to link to it on Fire Mountain, but I couldn't find it, so here's one from Amazon, which looks different, but works the same. Box Clasp.

This necklace is about 19 inches long. I've worn it a couple times, but I have a problem with it that I need to solve. It won't lay flat. It keeps trying to twist. I'll figure something out.


Live long and prosper. \\//
