<\/p>\n This is a wirework twist of a charm-holder necklace. \u00a0I included some of my favorite stones – from smoky quartz to little brass cubes. \u00a0 It was fun creating all sorts of dangles using a seed-bead embellished vintage key and a herringbone wrapped faceted bead. \u00a0I used faux leather suede to finish the necklace, complete with a wirework clasp.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now how about a sweet pair of wirework hoops? \u00a0The coiled wire adds a bit of texture, framing a carved mother of pearl flower.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ** I’ll be teaching how to make these earrings locally in VA at\u00a0Stars Beads<\/a>\u00a0this Fall. \u00a0We’ll review wirework essentials such as simple loops and wrapped loops, along with coiling techniques. \u00a0I’ll also show a simple step to adding patina to brass wire. \u00a0Come join me! **<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I had been saving this graduated strand of turquoise beads for quite some time. \u00a0I decided to make a completely handmade focal just for these special beads. \u00a0I used sheet metal to create a semi-circle, and added texture. \u00a0Coiled wire adds great dimension – here I used several gauges of sterling wire along with twisted wire, wrapped around the crescent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Layers of turquoise and silver! \u00a0Just for fun, I combined necklaces from my previous blog post. \u00a0They were all created as a collection. \u00a0There’s one more necklace to this collection – will post that one soon!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"Wirework](\"http:\/\/sweetbead.mysticcomputing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Priscilla-necklace-wirework-and-charms-by-Cindy-Wimmer.jpg\")
