I've had this Crazy Lace Agate donut pendant for even longer than my Dragon and Phoenix. I remember purchasing it when I was housesitting for my sister one fall. I originally braided some thread and just wore it around my neck that way, but I was never really happy with it. So I set it asid in my bead box for years, never quite finding anything that really worked with it. Finally, one of the sites I use for supplies got in some rounds that matched it (a lot of crazy lace agate has a brown cast to it, but my donut is entirely shades of gray), so I bought a strand thinking it was 16" like most strands are and some gunmetal gray wire. Turns out the strand of beads was only 8" so I had to get even more creative with my wirework for the necklace to be a decent length. I chose the link style I made because it looked vaguely Celtic. I used up my remaining silver wire for contrast, and the rest is done in the gunmetal. Also made my first S-shaped clasp. Very different from what I usually do, but I really like it.
Name: Shades of Gray
Price: $40 (reason: wirework)
Length: 18 inches
