1) Inspiration: Assad Mounser Rambler Long Necklace
2) Getting started. Workspace on a plate!
3) Making progress!
4) Voila!!
A rainy gray day makes for the best DIY afternoon. Inspired by
Assad Mounser's Rambler necklace I decided to take my stock pile of beads, gems, vintage chains, and blue agate chainless charm that I picked up from a thrift store a few years ago - to make my own Assad Mounser'ish necklace! Honestly, this took me about an hour...pretty simple because I already had all the supplies. Luckily I've been collecting quite an assortment over the years of old chains, random beads, charms...which come in handy when I'm craving some craft! The rambler necklace retails for about $270, this probably cost me a total of $20. A little rain and a lot of inspiration from
Assad Mounser goes a long way, I have more crafting ideas for another jewelry project....

This is fabulous! What did you thread the beads on? And how did you attach to the geode? Do you know where to get those spiky beads?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am inspired to make my own. I have a bunch of beads and was wondering what to create with them.
Awwww thanks!
ReplyDeleteI threaded the beads with just some basic bead stringing wire (nylon coated stainless steel) that you can pick up from any bead or craft store. I then used crimp beads to attach the strung beads to the geode and clasp at nape of neck.
The geode pendant already came with a hook attached, so i simply attached the vintage chain to the pendant with a jump ring - opposite side of the strung beads.
I found the spike beads a couple years ago in a random bead shop in the Garment District (NYC), but If you google Im sure easy to find at an online supplier, or you could use any spike shaped gemstone which are in almost any
beadstore.
Do share if you craft something...would love to see it!!
Thank you, Carly!! I am a jewelry novice......so much to learn!
