How I make a necklace

This post is about how I make my necklaces.

I love to make everything from scratch as much as possible and this shows just how it's done.

I start out with silver thread and wire and end up with a necklace with a clasp.

Flower Pendant

Pretty flower pendant that I recently made.

I saw pierced the flower from aluminium, then cut another flower from recycled plastic and layered them with a pretty stone at the centre.

Just made a new necklace- daisy chains.

I tried out letter stamping a while back and had not until now made use of it. So I cut out these little flowers from aluminium and made a pretty necklace.

Necklace

This is a necklace I made for someone as a pressie.

Beads have been knitted into the wire.

It is a purple version of this necklace:

Bracelets

Just made these new bracelets with pearl and silver beads

Inspired by pearls:
I love the idea of pearls- growing inside an oyster from a grit of dirt that got caught inside and growing into something beautiful. Amazing!

Ring

As promised this is the ring I have made.

Daisy Pendant

I have just made this daisy pendant. It is cut from aluminium, filed and sanded, then a silver bead added.

Updated link necklace

Just a quick update on this necklace (I know- how excitin!!), but I have just added lots of turquoise and pink beads to it and wanted to show it off. Very pleased with it, think it looks pretty. I was unsure if to add beads to it or not, but thought y not go 4 it, so I did. May even add a few more!!

My first earring

I have just finished making this flower stud earring. I have never made an earring like this before, so this is my first.

I made it all from silver. The flower I cut from a sheet of silver, then filed and sanded it to finish. I then cut a piece of wire and soldered this to the back of the flower. I added a little bead to finish.

I am quite pleased with it.

Link chain pendant

I have been working on this necklace for a while now and may yet work on it a bit more (not sure how many charms and beads to add, I didn't want to spoil it).

I have made the links of this pendant from solid silver wire, I hammered some of the links and kept some round. I soldered each link closed- something which took a bit of time- and joined them all together. I made a heart and flower link and also made some charms to add to it.

I am considering adding some beads to it, but not too sure at the moment.

Butterflies

Hand cut butterflies.

I made these by hand by firstly cutting out the butterfly shapes from aluminium sheet, then filing and sanding them. I then painted one of these turquoise.

These can be made into earrings or a necklace.

New Necklace

I have just made this new necklace.

I used lots of beads that I have recently made combined with some grey ribbon and silver cord. I also used a handcut flower that I made from aluminium and then painted.

I was inspired by the greys and peach colours I've seen used together recently. I think they look really pretty together.

I think this will be a nice summery necklace.
