NOTE: For instant bling, use UV resin (#82-501-01) with an ultraviolet light (#82-593); cures in minutes!
TIPS:
* Patina the brass bezel cup before casting resin.
* Open the filigree bead and use bail-making pliers to wrap a frame around the resined bezel.
* By keeping the ribbon "tails" a bit long, this necklace can easily be lengthened or shortened to suit the wearer.
* Stack large-hole beads on the ribbon above the pendant and use jump rings to add a charm or a few dangles to each bead.
