This necklace incorporates a "yoke" component that is 1/2 of a diamond and the other 1/2 is replaced with a spiral.  Since I don't have a better name for the necklace, it will be the Spiral-Diamond necklace.  It could have been the Inverted Christmas tree necklace, but this didn't sound too good either.  While we don't have a great sounding name for the necklace, the design is a very nice combination of jewelry wire and beads and the resulting necklace should attract attention.  This is an advanced beginners jewelry making project.

This WigJig jewelry project is provided as part of WigJig University - College of Jewelry Designs.  We try to provide interesting jewelry projects using beads, jewelry wire and other jewelry supplies.  We hope that these pictures will provide you enough information for you to complete this project.  Some of the skills and techniques have not been discussed here.  For beginners, we suggest that you visit our Beginners Start Here pages. These pages discuss the skills necessary for making jewelry in the detail that beginners need. We also suggest that beginners to making jewelry might need to visit the WigJig University College of Jewelry Techniques for additional information about some of the skills and techniques shown. 

 Most, but not all of the jewelry supplies shown here can be purchased in our WigJig store.  We try to have a complete selection of jewelry supplies in our store including chain, wire, glass beads, findings, watches, tools, etc.
