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!
