Faceted Crystal Necklace with Swarovski Pendant

By Zarah Wednesday February 17, 2010

This crystal necklace has been on the waiting list for repairs for a while now. But yesterday I decided to finally finish the Faceted Crystal Necklace once and for all!

So what needs to be done to it? Well, the crystal necklace is lacking it’s Swarovski pendant, so I need a new one. In the morning I head of to the bead shops to find a suitable pendant!

At the first shop Tartaruga I couldn’t find anything, all their Swarovski pendants were too small for my faceted crystal necklace. But I didn’t waste my time there because I found some really cute turquoise beads there which I bought.

After a sandwich and some coffee I moved on to my last bead shop of the day, Perlehuset. And I was lucky because they did have what I was looking for, lots and lots of Swarovski crystal pendants…

I found my perfect faceted pendant, it’s a quite big grey/beige Swarovski drop pendant. I love it, the facets will sparkle so nicely on that beaded necklace!

When I got home I hurried to repair and finish my necklace which had been waiting for so long. I had to make a new bail, because the old was way too small.

So I formed a new one with some sterling silver wire. That’s a fun and fast way to make your own bail for pendants.

Here is a picture of the old pendant and the finished necklace.

The old pendant in the Faceted Crystal Necklace was a Swarovski crystal leaf, much lighter in color than my new pendant as you can see…
