I spent much of this session’s Jewelry Fabrication class at the Maitland Art Center working on this necklace, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I finally got to use this dichroic glass cabochon which I bought from a vendor at the Lake Eola Fiesta in the Park last year. I’m generally not a big fan of some of the dichroic glass that’s out there, but I liked how this one looked almost like an opal.
Making the chain was a challenge. I melted more than a few links in the process, but I felt really satisfied after completing it. I made all of the jump rings and the toggle clasp from sterling silver wire and cut, sawed and soldered sterling silver sheet and bezel wire to make the bezel setting.
