I’ve been drawn to the look of copper wire lately. Started making a simple bead and wire chain using copper wire and multicolored dyed freshwater pearls.
Copper Rose
It isn’t finished yet, but it’s going to be a nice, long necklace, and I’m calling it Copper Rose. I think the pink tones of the pearls are beautiful and rich looking with the copper. I haven’t made bead and wire chains in a long time - they are time consuming to make, but a great way to make a custom chain using just about any combination of wire and beads. Tutorial coming soon!

I just love the combination of pearls and the copper. Very pretty. I’m guessing fresh water pearls? The colors look really fine.

yes, they are freshwater pearls - sometimes I forget to write that, but almost all of the pearls I use are freshwater.

I love your Copper Rose idea. It will look great specially with the pink pearls. But i also like the one which is shown in the picture.

Great jewels on your blog. Do you have any experience in selling similar jewelry (as shown on your blog) in wholesale.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the comments!
Jewelz, I can’t make pieces in large quantities, so I tend to sell more via galleries or small boutiques than true wholesale.
