Mazel Tov! Jewelry Treasures: A freeform neckpiece on a sterling silver armature


Mazel Tov! Jewelry Treasures: A freeform neckpiece on a sterling silver armature: "After making numerous bead-embroidered neckpieces, I was looking for a change of technique. Freeform peyote, netting, and brick stitch appeal to me, but I still wanted some sort of support for the work. Heavy gauge sterling silver wire makes an excellent armature to work around. My inspiration for this piece came from Lynda Musante's lovely book, Exquisite Beaded Jewelry. Lynda shows how to make a bracelet using wire links as a base. My piece uses a single strand of wire instead, but the look is very similar, so I would be remiss in not acknowledging her inspiration! "

This is a magnificent neckpiece - take a look at Cyndi's full post, as she takes you step by step through the process of creating it.
