Week 40-Lapis Necklace



You know I really want to be Iza Malczyk when I grow up even though I'm already old enough to be her mother. :D So this is my latest attempt. The big stone is a 25mm lapis. The small rondelles are blue iolite and I added a pyrite because the lapis has pyrite inclusions. I had a really hard time getting both sides the same, and I had wanted two wires to meet at the bottom but I obviously got them too short. I tried a couple of different ways of attaching the chain and I'm still not satisfied with that part of it but that can be changed if anyone has a better idea.

  3. This chain attach is almost invisible :) Maybe sometimes it's worth to resign from extravagant forms...but maybe bigger, for changin chain...And pyrite as element of it...I'm sure you will do something fantastic. Stones are marvellous- dark gold and blue! In my box are waiting for accurate moment (I like that colours too)

  4. Thanks, Licho! That was my dilemma. I still think that because the pendant is so ornate, it needs some more elements in the chain.

  5. Oh I LOVE this!! I want to be Iza too when I grow up, but am old enough to be her mom I guess :-P. I want to try something like this, but I just don't know how.
