\"Jupiter<\/p>\n

“Count me in on the “YES, PLEASE” column for anything to do with working with wire with the beads.”~Arlene-H<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today’s photo shows a pendant I made using a large Jupiter bead<\/a> finished with a handmade brass and copper wire bail.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since these Jupiter planet beads can be quite large, they make excellent focal beads.<\/span><\/p>\n

To set off the large round bead, I made a woven wire bail using 20 gauge Brass wire as the structure and 24 gauge copper wire as the weaving material. The bail was designed in such a way that the brass wire continued through the hole in the bead out the bottom, and turned into a spiral.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the spiral a dangle was created using small glass bicone beads.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a fun jewelry project to make with the Giant Jupiter Beads. The copper wire weaving was fun to experiment with as well. A little bit of a departure from my usual hammered copper findings<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What kind of jewelry projects have you been using your Jupiter beads for?<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
