The idea of this set came to me last fall and was inspired on a very sunny day. It was what we call Golden Fall.
First, I weaved the necklace base using vertical netting stitch technique. I used tiny seed Czech beads #12 of amber color. Then I made seven leaves for the necklace and four for the earrings from beads of different light to dark yellow colors. I attached leaves to the bottom of the necklace and then embroidered with the light and dark smooth clear amber chips.
I added small beaded half-loops around the necklace as a final touch.
As a clasp I decided to use a pike of amber, I didn’t want metal on this necklace. Then I made earrings attaching leaves to sterling silver findings, and added a few fringes of different length made from the same beads with small pieces of amber. It seems to me, that my idea came to life in this necklace, and I reached the desired result.
