Wired Gemstone Flower Necklace
Create this stunning focal necklace using wire and gemstone beads. We have used Carnelian and Tiger's Eye, but you may choose to use whatever stones/beads you like! We love this design as it allows a great deal of freedom - if you make a mistake or break the wire, simply wind on a new piece of wire and keep going! This design is also quite easy to master; once you get the hang of it, you could make this piece in an hour or so!

Second Flower
On this step you will be making the drop section that attaches to the first flower that you made.
Double Layer Flower
This flower is similar to the first, however you will be making a double layer.
Put It All Together!
On this step it is simply a matter of connecting all the pieces together to create your pendant. You can then attach it to a chain or leather to make it into a necklace.
