From Deryn Mentock's class

This is week one of of ELEVEN weeks!! with Deryn Mentock jewelry class Alchemy of Design.  Our first challenge piece is in symmetry.  I went with an emulated spin of her example pieces.
Mostly because I don't usually use sparkly stuff.

In this one I used an vintage rhinestone clip, some vintage rhinestone beads, Jasper stones and beads, and Burgundy pearls.

These show the close ups of the rhinestone pendant and the clasp...

Laying everything out to get an idea of the design.

It will go something like this...the design did get changed some...

and it finished out like this...

It sits perfectly on the chest with the dangle about at a low round neck or V neck.

I knotted the 6 Burgundy pearl beads at the clasp...

next on the weeks to do for class is a cool looking tassel!

Thanks for looking and if you have ever considered an online jewelry class ...Deryn is THE instructor to check out...I always get something out of her classes...a LOT of somethings actually!
