Yet another finished project
Dec. 3rd, 2007 12:34 pmFinally finished yesterday:

Scarab cameo necklace using one of the extra scarab cameos I made for other purposes.
Brass wire, misc green beads, 3 strand pearl clasp style closure. The triple strand separators I made out of copper wire, then wrapped with thinner gauge copper wire strung with seed beads to blend into the rest of the necklace.
I attached the center piece onto the necklace by running 3 thick gauge wires through the cameo setting's prongs leaving loops on either side to attach the rest of the necklace to. When I set the cameo's 'stone' in I used my dremel to cut channels underneath where the wire was so it would sit flush.
Took about a month of working on it for an hour or so every other night in front of the tube.
Bye now!
