Wisdom of the Ages Pendant Necklace

Project N669
Designer: Julie Bean

This necklace looks forged from the earth, like it holds the secrets of ancient times past. I love the faux amethyst druzy effect which has been created with Crystal Clay and Crystal Splash - the look is raw, timeless, and mystical.

Instructions:

  1. To make this project, start by watching the video: How to Make a Faux Druzy Ring. You will not be making a ring, but you will be using the same technique.

  2. Mix up a small amount of dark purple Crystal Clay. About a ball that is 3/4" in diameter. If you are not familiar with how to mix Crystal Clay, please see the video HERE.

  3. Roll your ball into a more egg-like shape and then flatten with your fingers so that it can easily wrap around your Nunn Design antique copper plated channel bead pendant. Push the clay into the channel part of the pendant, to the edges, and also to the point where the two ends meet on the backside and create a seam. Keep manipulating the clay with your fingers until if feels evenly distributed and covers every part of the channel.

  4. Now, apply Crystal Splash to the clay in the same manner as illustrated in the video. Apply crystals all the way around the pendant. If there looks to be gaps, add more crystals. Let dry.

  5. Take your 3 feet of chain and fold in half to find the middle chain link. Open the loop at the top of your pendant and connect it to this middle chain link. Close the loop back up.

  6. Your chain actually consists of a series of open links connected together. Open the end link on one side (the same way you would open a jump ring) and connect it to the end chain link on the other side of your necklace. Close the link back up.

  7. All done!

No clasp is needed for this necklace as it easily slips over the head!

Variations

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
