I have used Copper wire , Rose Quartz and amethyst. In a nod to the Norse myth, I have made sections of Viking knit chain (or trichinopoly chain), which are each finished with a handmade wire cone. These sections of chain are connected together with Amethyst and Rose Quartz beads in hues of Pinks and Purples, which I have wrapped in copper wire, so that it spirals around the bead.
This necklace measures 26' and is finished with a handmade clasp.
