Girls' Night Jewelry!

I have a group of good friends who get together now and then and do fun stuff. This is the second time I have helped them make jewelry, and the stuff they did this time was AMAZING! They all chose to do the same type of necklace, but they all looked very different from one another. They really reflected the girls' personalities.

The girls chose the beads they liked and the overall look they wanted for their pieces. Then I showed them how to make bead links with wire wrapping wire. That was the hardest part. After they finished making their links, I showed them how to attach them to the chain. The last step was to make a charm pendant, which we did by putting beads on an end pin (easy!), attaching them to varying lengths of chain, putting those on a jump ring, and then attaching the jump ring to a necklace. Then ta da! A necklace! They put their closures on the same way they put on their bead links. It was so fun!



This is a lovely little sister (in-law) of one of my friends. She wanted to model her necklace for my blog. I had a hard time getting a good photo with the available lighting, but she is still cute. She made a necklace with mostly purple glass beads with foil embellishment and some larger turquoise seed beads. Her charm pendant had matching beads plus a larger purple bead (which can be seen in this pair of earrings).



The necklace on the left was designed by my closest friend of the bunch. I love the design so much that I want to copy it :) It's so classy and lovely. However, I already had one in mind that has some similar things going on so I will refrain.

On the right is a necklace that is very different. I like it a whole stinking lot too. It is sparkly with a blue and silver color scheme. It looked nice and wintery to me. All in all, I was impressed with their creativity!
