Posting a new two strand necklace for the weekend. I used our small gunmetal cable chain mixed with our NEW Disco Chain in semi matte gold to bring a wee bit more attention to the Golden acorn bead cap with semi matte finish.

Czech bead size is 12 mm and is a dark capri blue!

This new finish in 24KT gold plate has a semi matte finish and looks fabulous giving you more acorn cap design possibilities. The 24 kt gold plate over brass gives you a premium product without a huge price tag. 

The dotted caps fit nicely with bicones and the airy open petal caps fit most 7mm-8mm round beads. Gold is big in high end jewelry and making a great come back in our beaded world.

Lariats are so stylish. Chain makes a great base for these necklaces providing strength and durability. I've made many lariats for keeps and give aways and to sell. I usually choose chains that have uniform link sizes large enough to wire wrap multiple beads and trinkets cause that's just the kind of girl I am. Nothing makes me happier than loading up the ends of the chains with many different colors, shapes and textures.

This picture shows off some left over AB2X crystals hanging from Antique copper chain with 4mm rounded beveled links. A great choice for lariats.

You can customize the length.. I usually use 32 inches to 42 inches of chain.. depending on how many times I want to wrap the neckline.

Here is a list of favorite chains to use for lariat chain jewelry
