A simple little necklace idea using one of my ceramic leaf pendants. My leaf pendants work great as back drops for beaded clusters! I worked this one up to enter into the current Art Bead Scene monthly challenge.
I started with one of my glossy silver leaf pendants and attached some black cord to it with a lark's head knot. I used about a half inch of some small link chain and wire-wrapped some gemstones of amethyst and green kyanite (one of my favorites!) onto each link in the chain. Then I attached the chain to the black cord at the top of the pendant with a small jump ring and added three more wire-wrapped beads to the jump ring. For the clasp, I simply knotted on a hand-made hook clasp and a ring with some chain for an extension and added some silver beads to the cord ends for a finishing touch!

Erin, your necklace design is so cute! I love the beaded cluster with your beautiful leaf as a backdrop.
Very pretty!
Nice, Erin! It looks so delicate and "Springy" (is that a word?)
Thank you, Ladies!
