Gina I could kick myself for missing out on your box. I had company. Shirley notified me you had put out your second box,but I didn’t want to take the time to order it. I’ve learned so much from both you and Louisa. If you two ladies were race horses, I wouldn’t have money to get home. I’d bet on you both!!! Such winners! 😀here’s how I feel about missing out on your second box😂🥲😭.

I love this necklace. I emailed her last week to request the next box but thats sold out. Hopefully, I'll make it onto the next list...I dont know January I guess.
You are a genius! I love the way you put those 3 components together to make that focal piece! And the perpendicular links instead of 2 jump rings! I'm so glad I watched this one! My mind is blown.💜💜💜💜
You are such a good teacher
Thank you Miss Luisa for another beauty! The tip about how you avoid 2 jumprings is genius. Thank you! ❤
I almost forgot, I love Gina's tutorials too, I made few of her necklaces and bracelets. She is so talented too with matching colors and creating lovely designs. I saw her video of using this box to create a lovely necklace.
Love your hair , you are beautiful and so is your heart and jewelry! Thank you for your time and inspirational videos!
Thank you for sharing your technique for making charm components. Gorgeous design as always. It looked so beautiful on you.
Luisa, you are such a fantastic teacher, no matter if you pronounce agate either way! Lol You are who you are and I think you do such amazing designs. I love your videos. This necklace is so, so pretty. Thank you for sharing you knowledge!♥️♥️

I really like the way you combined the 3 triple chandelier components into a flexible beautiful central focus. I seldom use my chandeliers except for earrings. Hopefully I can put my own spin on your design, using different components to design a necklace even a fraction as beautiful as yours! Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely gorgeous necklace. I want to make one.

So beautiful and creative! I learn so much from you. I did get GGC’ s treasure box. Thank you for showing your designs with this box. So I did try the design and you were correct about the component focal being the hardest part! It took me awhile but I did it!
I love this necklace, turned out gorgeous. And I hear ya on the different pronunciations of stones, in 59 yrs old born in August and grew up with calling my birth stone peridot- (per e dot) and every one I know of is now calling it per-e-doe. So 59 yrs of saying it wrong and this is also jewelers calling it the way I have all my life. And now the last 5-10 yrs it’s different. I find amazing. lol 😂

Lol! Yes, I think pronunciations do change with time. I know I didn’t come up with A-gate on my own but somewhere along the way people started pronouncing it A-gett! I actually hadn’t really paid attention until I received that comment…lol 😂
Very beautiful!
I love how you use the components! So innovative and clever!!! Thank you for sharing your creativity.

Your designs are a gate way to inspiration. Agate it... I get it! Lol thank you
I made this with my treasure box. I used different leaves and used the Agate pendant to make it my own. Thank you for the creative way to put this together. Love it!!!

Luisa, I enjoy watching you very much as usual I learn something new every video. Much success!
Nice techniques to make pendant and to hang the leaf dangles.
I like this a lot. I am going to try and make this. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning, your creativity is amazing. Thank you for sharing your innovative tricks with us
You absolutely took it next level. Thanks for the component / link tip. The agates are beautiful no matter how you say it. THanks for sharing your designs.
I love it
You are absolutely an awesome created of jewelry. I just found your tutorials and have already learned alot from you!!!! Can't wait to watch more...Thank you ☺
You did a wonderful job in this design. Thank you for sharing.
Very pretty! Looks amazing on! 💕👀💕👀💕 Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹
beautiful necklace
Simply gorgeous!!!😍
Louisa, thank you for this beautiful tutorial. I’m in awe learning your tricks! I had to make one along with you so I wouldn’t forget. I’m going to make some and have when I need them. So much prettier and hangs better than jump rings. I must say you are the best designer on you tube. I think I’ve watched all your videos. I will stop whatever I’m doing to watch your videos when a notification alerts me. I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve learned from you. I’ve almost quit string beads I’m using more and more wire to make necklaces and bracelets. I could kick myself because I didn’t make it to order Gina’s second box. I got notification from Shirley but had company and didn’t want to get my atm card and place an order. I’ll not miss another one. I’ve have various finding and will make this necklace. Keep this for yourself, it looks gorgeous on you. Have a blessed evening my friend.

You could also make them with with wire and multi-step barrel pliers for consistent loops if you're not good great at making consistent loops and two flat facing pliers to hold each and to turn it perpendicular. I believe in my wrapping it's called an s bend with a twist. I love to make my own components with wire if possible so all my middle tones will match
You are a blessing!!! Gorgeous!!

The quote from Van Gogh is a beautiful choice and brought tears to my eyes. Your videos are complete experiences and I love them. Love you too. Love to your family.
Gorgeous. I would love to be able to do this.
Luisa, I really think that you should start making your own designer jewelry box. You are so talented at making jewelry it would definitely do well. I would be the first one in line to purchase it! This box is great too and you made such a beautiful necklace. I love everything you do. 😌

Luisa, another beauty! What a beautiful, adaptable design. I love how you put this together, how every component goes perfectly with the next. This looks "ice princess" worthy, with the cool blues and silvers. Gorgeous! I love the bits of chain connected together with the beautiful and perfectly-matched rondels. And what an inspired way of connecting those connectors into a focal piece. Great job! Tfs! (And this was a beautiful collection put together by Gina, wasn't it? She's got such a good eye for color and texture.)

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback ! Yes, absolutely!….looping pliers would definitely work well! I almost used them but I didn’t because I know many viewers don’t own a pair. But yes, they’d work great except for the larger loops that I had to make to connect to the focal components. 🙂🌸🌼🌺
