The inspiration for this necklace was actually my mom. I had her birthday quickly approaching and wanted to make a great necklace that she could easily wear in the winter as well as the summer. I love to mix metals in designs, especially when I'm making something as a gift or to sell. Having 2 or more complimentary metals makes it so everyone can be happy :-) Wrapping the channel bead with WoolyWire was so easy and added fab texture. She loved it! Now I want to make one for myself. What do you like to fill in the channel beads?
To create the neck chain, take the 2' of silver chain and double over. Drop the 2 ends through one of the holes of the dianthus link. Pull through until just a little of the fold of chain is left on the other side of the link. Do a lark's head knot using the chain.

Connect the silver chain ends to the hook using WoolyWire. Wrap a bunch so you can see the color and for stability.

Take the larger chain in hamilton gold attach to the open hole on the dianthus link. Attach a large rope jump ring to the opposite end of the chain, this is for the hook to attach to.
See Tip: Closing A Jump Ring
Take your channel bead and wrap with WoolyWire until filled. Group your trinkets and beads to be clustered as the focal and begin attach using your selection of jump rings. I attached mine just off center on the gold chain.
