I enjoy finding ways to mix up jewelry and beading components that you do not always think of using together. For example, in this project I combined small seed beads with larger gemstone beads. Then I created a textured metal charm for the focal point of this necklace. Along with this necklace, you may want to make the Carnelian and Copper Earrings to match.

To make the Carnelian Seed Bead and Copper Flower Necklace, you will need the following tools and supplies:

*1 - 1 inch Copper 10 petal flower charm
*Texture hammer
Anvil
1 - 6mm Jump ring, gold colored
440 Size 11 Japanese copper colored seed beads
