Supplies List




This Etruscan Vine Necklace pattern was influenced by pottery and jewelry designs from the Tuscany region of Italy around 300 B.C. through 500 A.D. In this fun project, we learn how to prepare a bead-strung row of beads so that we may bead-weave off it with beautiful and elegant netting. We discuss concerns and issues involved with mixing techniques, as well as some strategic Do's and Don'ts.

Learning Objectives:
- Discuss concerns, issues and strategies when mixing techniques
- Create a design-plan for a bead strung/bead woven necklace
- Prepare a strung row of beads so that we can bead-weave off of it
- Measure a drop-down necklace so that it sits correctly around the neck and upon the chest
- Attach a choker clasp assembly
