Mystery bead and wirework necklace for I Might Make That! Monday


Well, this post will be a tad different from my usual Monday offerings. As I mentioned back in December when I first started this weekly feature,  I wanted I Might Make That! Monday to be my personal to-do list of bead and jewelry projects.

I have all kinds of bead necklace designs and tutes saved on my hard drive, but it's never easy to find things. Take the necklace above. I know that I downloaded this pic at least two years ago, because it was in a folder marked "Jewelry files from Dell" and I retired my PC and went Mac in 2010. The photo was labeled "free project_15" but the image has become detached from the instructions, which I can't seem to find.

Since many of you subscribe to the same e-newsletters and surf the same sites that I do, does anyone recognize this lovely necklace? I offer it here, tutorial-less, because I think you might be able to figure out how to make it without instructions.

I just love the proportions of it--the way the loops frame the cylinder beads, the way the double tiers provide substance. I'd love to give credit to the artist.

  2. Gorgeous! Would love to make that. The beadwork looks pretty simple, but the wire would take some trial and error . . .

  3. Found this on Pinterest. The wire looked like beading wire so I went to the Soft Flex website and voilĂ , Project_015!

    Thanks for the idea. I'm going to make this someday.
