necklace - Silver Look Swarovski

Silver look with Swarovski - necklace

Swarovski Silver look necklace (CC45)

Swarovski Crystal AB (aurore borealis) and white copper go very well and elegantly together. This was made in a set - necklace and bracelet. The Silver look with Swarovski - bracelet   is also documented at this site. Here we focus on the images of the necklace.

Made solely with A Grade white copper mesh chain and lots of Swarovski 5328 XILION bicone in Crystal AB, and finished off with large hallmarked sterling silver toggles, this piece looks casually elegant (in my opinion).

	I have provided multiple shots of the necklace against different backgrounds and angles as it is very hard to capture the silver sheen together with the elusive but beautiful iridescence of the Swarovski CABs (Crystal ABs).		Here is another shot against a lighted background. The lighting makes it very hard for me to catch good crisp pictures. But then, it could just be that I am a poor photographer.
	Here is a close up of the V-section of the necklace - giving an idea of how this was done. The beading is all done in RAW. The beaded sections are wire-sewn to the white copper mesh chain and covered with sterling silver French bullion (gimp).		Yet another shot, another angle.
	And another ...		Here is a picture of the necklace with matching bracelet crafted in similar techniques.
