Long Necklaces Are The Trend!

Doing an online search as I do three or four times a year to find out what the newest jewelry trends are. I was thrilled to see these long over the head necklaces are making a comeback!

The style is simple. A long chain, 32" or so, that will go over your head without the need of a clasp, and a pendant or a statement focal of several beads at approx 4" - 7 ". 

SO CUTE!!

These necklaces are a great way to use your one off beads or your larger beads that just don't quite fit into a design. 

What a great way to de stash and add beautiful jewelry to your inventory!!

 

All of my jewelry creations are based on the metaphysical properties of the stones or the colors that are incorporated. Jewelry should be a window to our soul, a protector of our emotions and a companion to our spirit. All of my other creations come directly from my heart in hopes they touch yours as well. Celebrate yourself with healing jewelry, and other gift ideas made with love!

Although I do live a lifestyle that is richly enhanced with healing crystals, crystal energy, and universal energies, some do not, and that being said, I must say - Crystal meanings, metaphysical and spiritual healing lore is lore for inspiration, folklore, reference, and entertainment only.

Multi Color Disk Bead Wire Wrapped Necklace and Earrings on Yellow Brass

I found a strands of these rainbow colored disk beads of dyed howlite. I fell in love at first site. 

I had to have them. 

Now what to do with them. 

I have had them for well over 2 years really wondering what I could do with them, other than the occasional accent bead in earrings or pendant. 

I was pushing them around on my work bench, and then just for fun began to stack them. 

That was when I go the idea!

Wire wrap the stacks into segments and make a necklace out of them. 

I used 20 ga yellow brass wire for the links and 18 ga yellow brass wire to make the hook. 

I added an accent of vintage crystal to the hook. 

It can be worn, with hook in front or in back. 

Versatile little necklace!

The earrings I wire wrapped on 18 ga yellow brass with a hammered spiral on the bottom. 

The ear wires are of hammered 20 ga yellow brass. 

  

Howlite is used to relieve anxiety, tension and stress.

Maybe that is why it is dyed so many happy, bright colors!
