There's something about cherry red carnelian that I just adore, & when I saw these 8mm round coin-shaped beads, I pounced. Yummy! (You can see my other carnelian necklaces here and here.)
Usually, I use 1 strand of beads per necklace, but this time I decided less is more. I made seven carnelian and gold-filled wire links, and then connected them with my favorite figure 8 gold-filled chain. I finished with a gold-filled lobster clasp. The necklace is about 16.5 inches long, and weighs 0.1 oz.
I made matching earrings with more chain and carnelian beads, hanging them from gold-filled posts. The longest dangle is about 1.75 inches, and the total weight of the earrings is 0.1 oz.
