This is my newest necklace created with Swarovski Crystallized Elements from Artbeads.The focal is a beautiful silver-plated Rose Filigree Sunflower that's so packed with sparkle that it has no problem standing on it's own, but I wanted to accent it's beauty even more. I wrapped small Swarovski Rose Crystals to a wire design that I formed with Argentium Sterling wire, then connected the design to Swarovski Rose Channel Links and blended with Sterling Silver chain. I wanted this necklace to have a special clasp, so I forged an "S" clasp using Argentium Sterling wire and some hammering, then wrapped part of it with hot-pink Glass seed beads and added a small Light-Rose Swarovski Crystal. I love the way it turned out, and I give many thanks to Artbeads for this inspirational opportunity!
