Murano Glass Part 3 - Mosaico Necklaces no.2

The other day I did a post on how I restrung my mosaic necklace to make it a little bit longer. Today I am going to show you what I have done with the rest of the beads.

The simplest thing I did was to remove a whole lot of beads from the other necklace length until it fit around my wrist before I knotted and trimmed the string making a bracelet.

By taking one lenght of necklace and removing about half the beads (using same technique mentioned here) I was able to make a braclet without too much effort.
With some of the extra beads that were left I made some earring pendants for myself and my sister.
Earring pendates made with 9ct rose gold wire, 9ct yellow gold wire and 9ct yellow gold beads
Earring pendants made with 9ct yellow gold wire and 9ct yellow gold beads

I still have some beads remaining but it is not long enough as it is to make another bracelet for my sister therefore I am going to wait until I have a day off work (that is not a public holiday) where I can go to the city to buy some silver so that I can make my sister a silver bracelet with the beads, which will look very different from my own braclet.

Here is the mosaico bead set that I have now, including the extra beads remaining:

How many pieces of jewellery have you redesigned?
If you haven't, are there any pieces of jewellery you think you would wear more often if it was redone in a slightly different style?

  1. Hey Elunia, you're very crafty :D
    The most creative I have gotten is taking my charm necklaces apart and changing up the pendants

    1. Thanks :)
      I love to change small things just to make them a little bit better for me rather than being left with something that is just okay :)
