New Necklace Designs by Tina Rothwell

This little treasures reminds me of sweet walks by the sea. Is it the color of the light blue jade in the foreground or perhaps the bright blue crystal in the background. I love how the white turquoise contrasts and compliments the brown potato pearls. This amazing design is handmade with sterling silver wire and is also juxtaposed with clear crystals, silver metal beads and a fantastic vintage mini pearl cluster.  approx. 46" Check out Tinas website to see her recent works!

How to make a ribbon necklace- tutorial

1. So you can buy the ribbon necklace from any dollar store in many colors.
2. I take the end of the extender chain and add a real freshwater pearl, to spruce it up.
3.Then take a jump ring in gold or silver and put it through all three ribbons and rock back and forth to
   close the ends tight.
4. I then take a 2 or 3" jewelry headpins with decorative balls on end or flat end then add glass beads,                    
    coral beads, pearls and crystals.
5. Then attach to the jump ring and voila!
