Red Coral Beaded Necklace with Sterling Silver Spiral Pendant

Red Coral Beaded Necklace with Sterling Silver Spiral Pendant

Inspired by rustic tribal designs, this necklace is combines bold red coral, animal horns, black glass and sterling silver. I used the focal beads to create a symmetrical neckline which hits just below the collarbone.

After twisting heavy gauge sterling silver wire into a spiral, I soldered the pendant and clasp for added strength and wearability. To accentuate the rustic style, I added texture and patina to the silver. Three coral beads hang from the sterling pendant, with small spiral wire ends which mimic the overall motif. These three beads add balance and movement to the simple yet striking necklace design. The necklace closes with a simple hook and eye clasp.
