Yellow jade beads & the project of a sterling silver necklace
I should never have accumulated a stash. Now it takes forever weighing options about what to do with this or that. There are no right answers, maybe not even any best answers. Pick a gemstone, pick the sterling silver wire and start playing around with them! So off I go, with these yellow jade (serpentine) 12 mm beads that I am going to wrap with 26 ga dead soft silver wire using a simple weave “-or “lashing”, used in the French beaded flower techniques and basketry. The result is a “diamond” shape and this technique is largely used as I can see after browsing the online handcrafted jewelry stores, so what will make my necklace so special, afterwards?! Well, I have to think of the finished piece, to come up with a final pattern that is fun to make, a pattern which doesn’t have a bazillion little details that can be a thrill or a pain and won’t make my necklace resemble to an ordinary piece…and YES, I got THE idea!!! So, I will be busy during the weekend. WORK. WORK. WORK.
