Bali Beads and Fresh Water Pearl Wire Sculpture
This is a complete neckpiece (pendant and beads) I did some time back. I used the design from Introduction to wire sculpture volume one. But I accented with some small 3/4mm fresh water pearls. Now when you do this make your sculpture first then add the pearls where they seem to fit. That location is subject on each sculpture that's why you make the piece first and add the accent pearls second.
For the beads I used commercial grade 8mm amethyst gemstone beads enclosed with silver Bali beads and a silver Bali catch in the rear. You could use pewter and get almost the exact same look.
I used 21 gauge dead soft sterling round wire, a 40x30 purple onyx cab and very thin round silver wire to run the pearls on. You could use 24, 26, or 28 gauge. wire depending on the size hole in your pearls and they will vary quite a bit.
