Kibble - Necklace
As seen in the Rings & Things 2009 Fall Supplement
Created by: Rings & Things Staff

This design is made with CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements.

1 #64-519 24-gauge sheet, sterling silver
1 #49-736 3-D silverware charm set, sterling silver
2 #05-328-04-25 CRYSTALLIZED™ 4mm bicone crystals, capri *
2 #37-579 1.25" extra-thin head pins, sterling silver
1 #37-295-250 5mm round jump ring, sterling silver
1 #37-295-240 4mm round jump ring, sterling silver
4 #37-295-260 6mm round jump rings, sterling silver
1 #50-536 16" 1mm light serpentine chain necklace, sterling silver

*NOTE: Beginning in 2009, Swarovski is replacing their 5301 faceted bicone crystal style with their new 5328 faceted XILION bicone bead. Either style of bicone works well for this design.

Tools and supplies: shears (#69-230), flat-nose pliers, round-nose pliers, chain-nose pliers, two-hole metal punch (#69-235), alphabet stamps (#69-240-00-L), patina such as liver of sulfur gel (#86-324) or Win-Ox™ (#86-343)

TIP: Create stamped metal tag from 24-gauge sterling sheet or use a 22mm round sterling tag (#44-750-20 ).
