Necklace with red agate and twisted metal pipes

by monika on Monday, June 21st, 2010

This necklace is another version of this necklace, but with silver-colored pipes and red agate beads instead of copper pipes and sodalite beads. I think that the contrast between the orange red beads and the silver-colored metal pipes creates a very nice combination, even though the necklace in itself is very simple. In this case, I used wire as the base of the necklace since the edges of the pipes was a bit sharp and uneven which makes it impractical to use string or thread.

Sodalite and twisted copper pipe necklace

by monika on Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

This is a pretty simple necklace made of sodalite and lava-stone beads interspersed with copper-colored spacers and pipes. The slightly twisted pipes creates a three-dimensional effect that is what makes the necklace noticeable. The twists can be seen in the picture, but it is even more evident in reality. Unfortunately I discovered that the holes in the beads and in the spacers are larger than the outer dimension of the pipes,  something that causes the beads and spacers to move along the pipes unless I use glue to stabilize them.
