With the basic components of wire, chain, clasps, and beads, many different necklaces, bracelets, and anklets can be made. Here are just a few ideas.

No chain vs. lots of chain

This anklet is similar to the basic necklace, but instead of just making a simple loop, the wire is wrapped several times to make it secure. This takes a bit of practice, but creates a beautiful necklace. The wrapped wire takes the place of the "spacer beads" in framing the beads.

Y Necklace
Vary the placement of the beads and the focal drop.
 


Dangles
Hang dangles of different lengths. Try dangling crystals, beads, or charms. The dangles pictured at left are hematite beads threaded on headpins.

For a jewelry set, just make a pair of matching drop earrings.

The bells at left are attached to fine chain using jump rings.
