Under the Sea

This peice I've had a love hate relationship with for a few years. I've made numerous attempts to make this but it hadn't worked out quite right. Click here if you'd like to read about the previous issues with this.

Commissioned piece, Client requests blue.
Modified pattern of "Under The Sea" necklace by Master artist Sonoko Nozue (c) 2012 {English Translation, 1st ed.}.
Necklace used Miyuki 8/0 Galvanized Steel Delicas for Core. 11/0 Miyuki Blue Tones Mix [11-9MIX02-TB], Miyuki 3mm Cubes Blue Tones Mix [SB3-MIX02-TB], Miyuki 15/0 Delicas in transparent Sapphire Blue with AB finish [DBS0187-TB], 3mm Pearls, and 4mm Swarovski Bicones Crystal with AB finish finished with silver magnetic closure.






Pictured below is the first steps of the necklace, you can see the Miyuki 8/0 Galvanized Steel Delicas for the core and the Miyuki 3mm Cubes Blue Tones Mix [SB3-MIX02-TB] for the first spiral.




Below is the first pass, you can see the the Miyuki 8/0 Galvanized Steel Delicas for the core and the Miyuki 3mm Cubes Blue Tones Mix. The second pass has the 11/0 Miyuki Blue Tones Mix [11-9MIX02-TB], with the 4mm Swarovski Bicones Crystal with AB finish.

I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. The client loved it enough that she didn't take it off even to sleep for a few days!
