Customer Reviews
The Little Old Lady from Pasadena Necklace
Perhaps she wouldn’t wear pearls in her shiny red, super-stock dodge, but a layer of chrome like silver plate chain and garnet red Czech glass rounds. A road worthy spin on those multiple stranded pearls.
Karla Schafer, Auntie’s Beads Designer
Instructions:
Note: Cut the chain with the memory wire shears and protect you eyes. Wire wrapping skills are a must for this project; see
