Flipped Over Lapis

These really cool flipped “L’ links give a funky effect, while the pearls bring a bit of elegance to this piece. You’re going to flip over them! By Robin Bare of Barè.

Flipped Over Lapis
Materials

Tools

Instructions
  1. Cut beading wire to desired necklace length.
  2. Attached one side of beading wire to one side of the hook and eye clasp.
  3. Then string beads in this order: (10) bronze pearls, (1) 2mm SS bead, 1 lapis, (1) 2mm SS bead, (5) pearls, (1) 2mm SS bead, (1) lapis, (1) 2mm SS bead, (5) pearls, (1) 2mm SS bead, (1) lapis.
  4. Cut and crimp wire to jump ring closing onto one side of “L” link – add crimp cover. This is just a portion of the side of your necklace.
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 to make a similar side.
  6. Create a wire wrap with the largest of your lapis beads adding a pearl on each side using a simple loop. With your fingers push loops up to form a “c” shape.
  7. Attach lapis to jump rings attaching the 2 side of your necklace together.
  8. Last but not least – attach a dangle made of one of the pearls to the clasp.

Tips
  1. By pushing the loops up on the pendant I made it have the piece more of a curve effect.
  2. Using the bronze pearls helped to bring out the “gold” flecks of the lapis lazuli.
