Wire Wrapped Beaded Necklace with Chain

I love using chain with my necklaces and am still learning to wire wrap the beads to look professional.

This is my latest necklace. It’s a gold chain from Michaels that I cut in small links.

I used 20 gauge artistic gold wire and added the turquoise beads with gold metal beads.

Necklace is 43 inches long so it can be worn long or doubled.

I do love the gold with the turquoise beads.

Good work, Kathy! The chain and wire add so much texture and interest to the necklace, plus contrast against the beads. I find that adding extra techniques to a necklace often brings more people wanting to see it up close. Have you noticed that too?

Yes I have noticed that Rena. I will be making more necklaces using chain. It does add more interest. There are so many interesting types of chain out there these days. Can’t wait to try a few more…

Very pretty Kathy. There are so many neat chains out there. They give necklaces and bracelets a unique look, plus it saves on beads.
