Rose Bouquet Necklace

When I first saw this exquisite Thai silver rose pendant I had a vision to create a sophisticated, garden inspired necklace. I wanted to use sparkly  gemstone beads in different colors including blue topaz, pink topaz, chrysophrase and rhodonite.

To create this necklace, I attached the rose pendant to sterling silver chain with a jump ring and all of the gemstone beads are wire wrapped and attached to the chain as well. I chose beads that were no larger than 6mm so that the rose pendant would remain the focal point of the piece.

Beads that are wire wrapped onto chain dangle elegantly. This technique can also be used to create earrings.
