SILVER WING NECKLACE

DIRECTIONS 

Blue Opal Swarovski crystals combine with silver wings to make an interesting curved necklace with contemporary styling.  This project comes together very quickly.  Just slide the beads and wings onto wire, add chain and loop the ends.  The finished necklace measures 18” and is designed to rest on the collar bones to maintain the curved shape.  Adjust the chain length to accommodate the size and shape of your neck.
