If you want to use your specialty beads sparingly, there are other options for finishing your design. Cynthia demonstrates how chain can make a wonderful option for finishing looks in this necklace design. She paired chain with Dakota Stones druzy beads and Czech glass. You can see more ideas for how to finish jewelry when you run out of beads in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 10 inches long. Slide an antique brass 2x2mm crimp tube onto the end of the wire, followed by the last link of a 9-inch length of 6.3mm antique brass-plated vintage patterned rolo chain. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.
Repeat this pattern two times, then finish the strand with a cube spacer, a melon bead, and a cube spacer.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
