This fabulous multi-strand necklace tells the story of designer Cynthia's native land, New Caledonia. From the blue gemstone featured at the center to the hints of gold, silver and sea green, this necklace is filled with style elements inspired by the wonders of a sunny island.
String the sterling silver 3mm seamless round small hole bead onto the sterling silver 3-inch 22 gauge head pin. String on one bead from the Dakota Stones blue crazy lace agate 30x40mm oval 8-inch bead strand. Finish the head pin with a wrapped loop.
Cut the hand-dyed silk sky blue/green with metallic gold edges ribbon and the hand-dyed silk turquoise with metallic silver edges ribbon approximately 25 inches long each. Thread the pendant you created onto the ribbon. Finish both ends of each ribbon with a JBB 3.5mm antique sterling silver fancy crimp end cap with loop.

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!
