How To Make A Labradorite Wirework Necklace
by Jennifer and Kitty O'Neil
Running With Sisters

In this stunning necklace, the Labradorite nuggets and faceted rondelles aren’t the only stars of the show. The silver wirework that connects them is dazzling, too! The 22-gauge silver wire not only draws attention to the wirework, but it also has enough visual weight to carry the size of the beads. And we love how they all look together!

We’ll show you how to create the center, beaded section with one of our favorite wirework techniques, making beaded components with wrapped loops.

Here is the tool and materials list:
4 Faceted nugget beads, Labradorite, 12mm x 14mm
5 Faceted rondelles, silver, 6mm x 11mm
1 Lobster clasp, silver, 12mm
1 Jump ring, silver, 5mm
10" Silver chain, 4mm wide (Ours has flat oval links.)
2 Crystal bicone beads, silver, 4mm
22-gauge wire, silver
Chain-nose pliers
Round-nose pliers
Wire cutters

Have you tried using 20 gauge wire? It would maybe hold up better than a thinner gauge. Very pretty. I love labradorite!
