I made this necklace for my friend Jovita. I learned this technique a while ago from a wonderful jewelry teacher,
Lisa Claxton at
Baubles and Beads. Spool-knitting with sterling silver wire is not so difficult, but more a matter of getting into a rhythm, so that the loops are regular and even. You also add a handful of different beads and mix them up, so they are random. I chose faceted onyx, gray pearls, faceted hematite and tiny faceted sterling silver beads. I also made Jovita a pair of earrings to go with it.

This necklace was a creation for my friend Georgette's mother in law. Tiny fresh water pearls hand knotted on yellow silk and as a stunning centerpiece 3 round cushion-cut champagne citrines.
