<\/span>Polymer clay beads wired up like the one in the photo are great for using as “links” in certain types of “chunky” jewelry. However, I am actually using this lively Gerbera Flower<\/a> bead as a simple pendant, all by itself.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

It is hung from a dark bronze chain with 2 hand wrapped hooks made from 20 gauge copper wire (same wire used on the bead). I’ll show you the chain and hooks in a future post if you are interested.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, I’ve been wiring up several of my beads this way, with a copper wire loop on either side. This way I can switch out different beads, but still use the same chain each time. Kind of an interchangeable thing. I tend to wear these pendants and the chain more than anything else. They are casual, funky and match everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve always been a fan of jewelry that can be worn different ways. Way back around Christmas last year, I made a convertible necklace<\/a> for my mom that could be worn as a long necklace, two short necklaces or as two bracelets. All with a removable pendant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks for this photo of your “Convertible Necklace” and for letting us see it in more detail. It is so interesting to look at with a lot of texture and fun details. I have not made any convertible jewelry yet, but will surely do so in the future now that you have brought the idea to my attention. Thanks, Cindy. Hugs to you.<\/span> ~Cindy-E<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You may have noticed that lately I’ve been posting a lot of pictures of different ways to use the beads, canes and wire work that is being taught in the weekly video tutorials<\/a>. Please let me know if this is helpful for you guys.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also let me know if there are specific projects from past tutorials that you would like me to show as jewelry in future posts. I’ll do my best to work your requests into the publishing schedule.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
