BEAD STRINGING & MORE

Free project: Brass leaves necklace set

Etched brass components combine with pearls in shades of gold and green to express the season’s muted tones. The knotted toggle bar — reminiscent of a twig — slips through a hammered ring for a pretty yet functional clasp. You can whip up these pieces of fall foliage faster than you can rake the leaves outside!

The October Design Challenge

The geometric shapes of the September Challenge made for some stunning jewelry, but for October, let’s get a little softer. Take your inspiration from raindrops falling on your head or from stones that are a girl’s best friend, or from the shapes that they represent. Teardrops are a very common shape for both beads and cabochons, and for classically styled earrings. A diamond may glitter, but it is also the common geometric shape suitable for use in thousands of designs! Whether you use precious gems or delicate jewels, similar geometric shapes into your patterns and designs, we want to see your photos!
