Necklaces with Big and Little Staples

While going through a box of miscellaneous jewelry parts and pieces I found a necklace I’d started with the last of my big staples.

I have no idea when I started it or why I abandoned it but there wasn’t too much left to do so I finished it.

Since the sand cast glass beads I used are rough on the inside I strung the necklace with beading chain.

It needed some spacers but I didn’t have anything on hand that would work so I made some rustic copper spacers and some discs.

Later I decided to work with the small staples I’d purchased some time ago. They were more brittle and easily broken.

I decided to use them with some bones beads I had recently received. Since there were no sharp edges to worry about I chose a Greek leather cord for stringing.
