This necklace is designed to glow from the center and fade into darkness, just like an ember amongst ashes.
Like a phoenix rising from ashes, this necklace will ignite your style. The fiery focal blazes beautifully against the gleaming black beads of the necklace and the dangling fringe looks like the red and gold feathers of the mythical bird. Every sparkle catches the eye and captures the imagination. Put this necklace at the heart of your ensemble and instantly light up your looks
Glue the 30x20mm fancy pear in Crystal Astral Pink onto a piece of bead backing and allow to dry. Create two rows of a peyote stitch bezel around the stone using Miyuki 8/0 transparent rainbow light amber hex cut seed beads.
Create a row of the two-seed-bead backstitch using 4mm bicones in Crystal Copper. Create another row using 3mm faceted rounds in Crystal Silver Night and a third row using 3mm faceted rounds in Hematite.
Add a beaded fringe to the bottom of the focal. Start in the middle with the longest piece of fringe. Add a random pattern of TOHO bead mix in ambers, 4mm bicones in Crystal Astral Pink and 3mm faceted rounds in Hematite. At the end of the fringe, add a loop of five Miyuki transparent dark topaz silver-lined 3.4mm drop fringe seed beads, a small bronze anodized aluminum scale embellishment and then five more drop fringe seed beads. Take your thread back up through the beads. As you continue the fringe, remember that the design on this fringe is longer in the center and then gradually gets shorter on each side.
Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 17 inches long. Attach one end to one half of the gunmetal-plated brass cut out circle toggle clasp using a 5mm gunmetal-plated 18 gauge open jump ring and crimp shut using TierraCast 2x2mm black finish brass crimp tube.
String on three 6mm bicones in Jet, followed by a Dakota Stones golden obsidian 8mm faceted rondelle bead. Repeat this pattern six times and add a 16mm cosmic bead in Jet. Add another golden obsidian rondelle bead, three more Jet bicones and another golden obsidian rondelle bead.
String on your focal and mirror the pattern from step seven on the other side of the necklace. Finish the necklace by adding the other half of the toggle clasp using a jump ring and a crimp tube.
