Another necklace

[ellarien]

Sodalite, denim lapis lazuli, gray lace agate, and a few oddments from a mixed batch, with silver-plated findings.






I like the design, but am less than completely satisfied with the execution. (There was a certain amount of bodgery with crimp covers involved at the ends. Next time, I'll use softer wire and the banana-hook trick and hope to get the strands snug that way. If the second variation on the theme turns out better, I'll probably remake this one.)

Thank you!

There's a clasp and a short length of chain in the back to allow for non-cylindricality. The main trouble I was having was getting the wire pulled tight enough over the loops of the finding at the end and making the crimps without much room to maneuver, so there was bare wire showing at the ends. The crimp covers helped with that, but not very elegantly.
