What a beautiful statement by Vincent. It makes my heart leap. You are one of a few artists who take me to other places by processing all of the creativity inside of you to problem solve and as a result, create beauty. I adore the necklace and applaud the mix of rustic and sparkle which should always complement one another and in your hands, absolutely do. Thank you for providing calming and inspiring creativity every time you arrive with a new video. Thank you for being you!!

Absolutely stunning. How do you learn to think out of the box is beyond me. After 10 yrs doing jewelry I would have never thought of this design. I think I may add some of the same crystals from the design in the chain. You are so very talented and I look forward to your videos for inspiration. Your voice and presentation are so peaceful to watch and learn.

Hi Luisa! This is a beautiful necklace. It looks so good on you. With it being a large pendant, I thought I would Patina paint mine….make a link chain of various African beads and make it a long length necklace. However, seeing your finished piece….I’m re-thinking my design. We’ll see how I feel when I sit to make it. Thanks for taking time out of your day to make the video. I wish you had been on KZread 4+ years ago when I started making jewelry. That little wire wrap technique you used to make the transition from metal to leather is fabulous. Thanks for sharing your wisdom of jewelry making❣️ Oh….the fall footage was gorgeous! Love and Blessings for You, your Son, and Family. ❤️🥰🙏🏼🌼🌺🐾🐾

Thank you Melonee for your very nice comments. I was on KZread in various forms years ago when I was learning belly dance choreography with my dance troops and although I was making jewelry, there never seemed to be enough time in the day for a jewelry making channel. Once I retired from my full time job, everything changed. 🙂 About the pendant…I think a patina would look great! I had actually thought about doing something similar before I decided to do the crystal wrap. 🙂🌼🌺🌸
Beautifully done Luisa. I would not imagine that you could use those crystals to make it upscale. Great job! 👍😃

Perfect artist by far! I made a necklace with the pendant but wasn’t pleased with it. So it’s coming apart to do a Luisa original. Where did you buy the leather metallic cord. I’ve never seen it before but sure like it. I bought those barrel beads from Amazon in the silver and they are beautiful. I will eventually buy all colors. I like your idea of using a straw since I don’t have the tube used to make it with. I don’t need but one and can’t see buying 25. I thought about putting patina on the focal but didn’t have the bronze patina. In one of your videos some findings were tarnished. You used 2 bottles one to remove tarnish and another to coat it. Do you mind telling me the name of it? I was cleaning some of my jewelry, the phone rang and my coins on a chain that I’ve had 40 yrs are ruined. I’m hoping to restore them if possible. It’s not expensive but my son bought it for me when he was 6yrs old and a ring with a little red stone. I should have finished then returned the call. I think you said it came from Amazon. TIA. Keep making your awesome jewelry and your fans will keep watching. Anyone that makes jewelry using wire, knows it’s unavoidable to have waste wire. Not to have would be measuring every piece, like you I guesstimate but only have very short pieces left. Your measurements are going to be as close as anyone on you tube can give. You can’t please everyone so please don’t try!
As always Luisa, beautiful!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️question do you seal your chain & findings to prevent tarnishing?
@MistyMoonDesigns
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Alicia. Yes, I’ll probably seal the chain. I usually brush the chain with a jewelry protectant such as Eternal Jewelry Coating or Permalac.
It looks amazing!!! I really was looking forward to making it but I don't have barrel beads..is there another trick I can use? Also instead of those plyers can I use the normal round nose plyers to do coils without the grooves in it?
@MistyMoonDesigns
2 жыл бұрын
Good question! You can use any other accent bead as the color coordinates and it’s 8mm. Like I mentioned in the video, you don’t need to tuck the coils into the bead if they don’t fit. I’ve done it both ways and it looks fine. 🙂🌸🌺🌼

Luisa, i love this necklace, but when I went back to see the list of items needed, I did not see the leather cord. I also do not see it listed in your time stamps. So my question is what size leather do we need? Can I use a different size MM then what you used?
@MistyMoonDesigns
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Nadine.. Thanks for letting me know. I must’ve forgotten to add it to the list. I used round leather cord, 2 mm thick. The color is metallic gold. I don’t think I’d use thinner leather because of the size of the beads. It doesn’t hurt to try but my guess is that it will weigh down the leather cord . Thicker cord would work but you would need to make sure it fits into your barrel beads. 🙂🌼🌺🌸
