Use pearls, gemstones, sterling, gold-filled, or seed beads for a sophisticated Victorian look. Different-sized beads and jump rings can be used. Just experiment by assembling a beaded unit (STEPS 6-8) to make sure that the beads and jump rings are compatible. Nine repeats make a necklace that is approximately 18” long.
