Spiral Diamond Necklace WigJig Jewelry Making Project Pg 01 Made with Beads, Jewelry Tools, Wire and Supplies

This necklace incorporates a "yoke" component that is 1/2 of a diamond and the other 1/2 is replaced with a spiral. Since I don't have a better name for the necklace, it will be the Spiral-Diamond necklace. It could have been the Inverted Christmas tree necklace, but this didn't sound too good either. While we don't have a great sounding name for the necklace, the design is a very nice combination of jewelry wire and beads and the resulting necklace should attract attention. This is an advanced beginners jewelry making project.	Spiral-Diamond Necklace Select above to view a larger photograph.
