Unfurled Copper and Oval Gemstone Necklace Tutorial

Unfurled Copper and Oval Gemstone Necklace Tutorial

Created by: Cindy Morris

Designer Tips

  • Since the gemstones are fairly heavy, use two crimp beads for extra security. Flatten crimps with flat-nose pliers.
  • Use two jump rings for the "S" hook to connect to both for style and extra security.
  • Vary chain length and stringing pattern as desired.
  • Placing the clasp to one side rather than the back makes it easier to close for some people.
