Hi Cathey,

I sure know exactly what you mean, as I too have had that happen..I find that it has to do with
the type of chain you are using and not only the weight of the pendant/ bead but the width too. Make certain that if you are attaching a jumpring that its not too large as the bead will swing even more.
if you look at the chain I used, you can see that the links are a tiny bit larger than a fine chain, because the pendant called for it.. you may be using a chain too heavy with large links. Just experiment and after awhile it will be second nature..also with my jewelry I like to use
leather, suede and silk cords… Hope this helps a bit

I get my chains at Rio Grande…

Best …Patti

Thanks so much Rena. I really consider myself blessed to have a great supplier, who is as passionate as they come. I did really want these to feel β€œ Venetian Warm”.

I have a question. I am not an expert jewelry maker, but I’ve been doing it on and off for a few years. However, I have trouble getting my necklaces to hang straight. The bead or handmade whatever, tend to turn around
and face backwards. I started making my own bails, hoping that would help, but still have issues. Heavier objects are okay, it’s the lighter ones I have trouble with. Thank you.

The black accents are the perfect finishing touch on these wonderfully warm pieces.
