Multi-style Jade necklace

After trying to revise on bead weave, wire wrapped techniques, it is about time to do stringing. I have been wanting to make a necklace with these cute jade cylinder tube beads but cannot decide on the style. Should I make it short, long, multi-strand, combine with chain, leather cords....? It took me weeks to come up with this ideal - multi-style :




The above are long versions. 





The above are short versions.

I stringed two strands of slightly different lengths with tiger tail thread. Both ended with jump rings. The main joining components are chain, lobster claws and magnetic clasps(for short versions).



I am so pleased with the outcome. It is about time for me to take a rest. zzzzzz z z z z














Lime Jade Necklace

Okay, enough of dealing with teeny tiny beads, have to give my eyes some rest.  Let me try to handle some wire work. I have these pretty rectangular tube stone beads of unique lime colour waiting to be used. I believe it is lime jade. Design work is never my strength. It took me weeks to come up this simple necklace.  It is a revision of basic wire work.


I have miscalculated the joining chain so the gaps between each bead are too big. It looked a bit "sparse" so I added some green dangle beads. I hope it is more balanced now.


I think it needs more dangles but I am too lazy to do. I will just leave it as it is.
