Designed by Nancy Cain.
Amore̒ Necklace is a companion piece of the Guild Bracelet & Ring. Taking an element of one design and expanding on it to create a new piece is an exciting way to explore your beading. The open link components create a delicate look while the external crystals add subtle sparkle! The rope has added sparkle by adding one split round every fifth two-drop stitch causing it to rotate a quarter turn.
