ETRUSCAN BEAD DROP NECKLACE

In this project, we learn to create simple bead-drops using wire and beads, to make a coiled bead using wire, and to attach a clasp to either a thicker leather or rubber cord using a clamp, or to a cable wire using a crimp bead.

 

LearnToBead Goals:
- Learn to string on a thicker cord
- Learn to prepare the ends of a thicker cord, off of which to construct the clasp assembly
- Create bead drops which to string onto your cord, using wire and beads
- Make a coiled bead using wire
- Discuss working with tools and wire
- Discuss selecting appropriate wire gauge for each wire element
- Discuss what glues to use when in jewelry-making
- Discuss how the shaping of the loops at the top of a pendant drop, and through which you string, may affect the shape or silhouete of your necklace
- Discuss ideas about putting a contemporary spin on a traditional piece of jewelry
