Necklace Design with Art Deco - Live Class 9 - Sam's Bead Shop | Rachel Mallis

From Rachel: "The new Art Deco cut from Sam’s Bead Shop got me so excited, I knew I wanted to design a class around them. The sparkly cut pulled me out of my earring obsession, and made me want to showcase them in a necklace. I’m so excited to teach this double-strand, ‘layered,’ necklace design. In this class, we'll go over wrapping the stick pearls with the tiny beads, wrapping the tiny beads directly in between links of chain, and how to construct the necklace."

To bead along during the class, you’ll need:

- Beads: 22 10mm beads, 30 3mm beads, and 11 10mm tube beads. In the example piece I am using strawberry quartz in the Art Deco cut, tube pearls, and blue labradorite. If you are using other beads, the size isn’t as important as how the beads look together.

- Findings: 20 or 22 gauge wire, 26 or 28 gauge wire, 16” of chain (cut into 8 2-inch pieces), 4 jump rings (mine are 3mm, 22g), and a clasp.

- Tools: Flat nose pliers, round nose pliers, flush cutters

This necklace would make a stunning and generous holiday gift!
