Dakota Stones matte wood opalite beads are the perfect gemstones for earthy styles. They feature swirling brown, white, and gray colors. Bonnie used a variety of rondelle sizes in this necklace. They are perfect for pairing with the Gardanne Beads donut pendant, which displays a soft green color that will put you in mind of the forest. Learn how to make this necklace and add gemstone style to your designs.
Cut two lengths of jewelry wire approximately 11 inches long each. Add a TierraCast 2x2mm brass oxide brass crimp tube to the ends of both wires, followed by the Gardanne Beads lime enameled brass donut pendant. Bring the ends of the wires back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.
Repeat the pattern two times, then add one 6mm rondelle, six 8mm rondelles, one 6mm rondelle, a spacer, and a granulated bead. Add a crimp tube, followed by half of the TierraCast brass oxide pewter toggle set. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.
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!
