More Fall Jewelry Inspiration

I was inspired by the colors of the fall landscape when I designed this long, textured necklace. I also made a black and silver version that I wear with just about everything. Jewel tones or pastel beads and stone rings would give it a completely different look!

Tip: To open Rolo Chain links, place the tips of Needle-nose Pliers inside the link and open the jaws so the link opens slightly. To close the link, place the tips of the pliers on the outside of the link and carefully press the ends together.
1. Separate the large Rolo Chain links so they can be used as spacer rings.

2. Pass an Eye Pin through: 6mm crystal, large rolo link, ceramic, large rolo link, 6mm crystal and make a basic loop; repeat for 3 more beaded Eye Pins.

3. Remove two 1” pieces (11 links) of Rolo Chain, then separate the remaining chain into two 6 ½” and two 11 ½” pieces.

4. Hold the 6 ½” chain lengths as one and connect an Eye Pin loop to the end.

5. Connect an Oval Link to the other end of the same Eye Pin.

6. Use a Jump Ring to connect a stone ring to the other end of the Oval Link.

7. Use a Jump Ring to connect an Oval Link to the other end of the stone ring.

8. Open an end link on a 1” piece of Rolo Chain and connect it to the other end of the Oval Link.

9. Open the last link on the piece of chain and attach it to another Oval Link.

10. Use a Jump Ring to connect a stone ring to the other end of the Oval Link.

11. Use a Jump Ring to connect an Oval Link to the other end of the stone ring.

12. Connect an Eye Pin loop to the Oval Link.

14. Repeat Steps 4-13 for the other side of the necklace.

15. String each of the light brown stone, 4mm crystal and remaining 6mm crystal beads onto separate Ball Head Pins and make a basic loop on each.

16. String the tiger’s eye beads onto separate Flat Head Pins and make a basic loop on each.

17. Connect a light brown bead to the first link on a 1” chain section. Connect a 4mm crystal to the other side of the same link.

18. Connect a tiger’s eye bead to the second link on the chain. Connect a 6mm crystal to the other side of the same link.

19. Follow this alternating pattern to add two beaded dangles to each link on the 1” chain section.
