Mauve Gemstone Choker
I attached the rectangular mauve stone beads that I used for the neckpiece by running GF wire thru each stone and looping the ends. I then started the body of the necklace by attaching 20 of these beads using the two needle method. As I added each fringe (2 to a bead), I ran the thread up thru one bead and down thru the adjoining bead. The seed bead loops that attach the body of the necklace to the neckpiece are actually part of the fringing. I couldn’t even begin to list all the beads that I used in the fringes but they include white gem stone beads, glass flowers and leaves, various sizes of crystal beads, small gemstone wafers, twisted and straight bugle beads, Czech glass beads, etc.
