Beading Goodness

[omorka]

Finished the crystal-point necklace. It's strung on silvertone Accuflex tigertail, with 3-4mm garnet rounds as spacers; it has a silverplated c-clasp in the back, but my hair's long enough that no one will ever see the clasp.



One in shade, one in dappled sun:







Nothing terribly special, but I like it. One note: it's much heavier than I originally anticipated! Even so, if FMG drops the price on their amethyst points a little more, I'll probably do another one in that.

Also, I discovered while making this that I need a better needle-nosed pliers. The one I'm using is not quite small enough for some of the tasks I wanted it to do.

Very nice! I would expect it to be heavy, that's quite a lot of rock. You should feel my carry-bag after a day at the Intergem show -- if I didn't have one of those little wheeled totes, it would be impossible for me to drag it out to the car.

Very nice!
Do be careful of the tigertail crimping with that much weight, though. I am the voice of experience speaking to you here...LOL

Wow!

That's a really nice effect.
