There is nothing quite like multiple strands of seed beads to compliment a special pendant. I don’t usually take the time to bead, but these domino pendants inspired me to bust out my stash and get busy. Fast forward 5 hours of stringing these tiny things and I have two finished pieces…’
It is a nice change from pairing pendants with a simple silver snake chain, which is what I normally do with dominoes. I am not much of a jewelry designer, as far as putting together beaded strings with a focal pendant, but you can’t really go wrong with this simple triple strand design to display your focal. Just drill a hole in your domino horizontally and string it like you would any other bead. In my browsing, I found these gorgeous macrame beaded domino necklaces with instructions at Caravan Beads Blog.
I actually started the beaded macrame string, and about 2 inches into realized it was going to take way more time then I had to invest in a necklace at the present time. It was, however, pretty easy to pick up, and I am not familiar with macrame. It would be a great project for a long road trip.
Now I am going to ask for your input. What kind of necklace do you think would pair well with this piece? I have some ideas, but I want to know yours. If I go with your design, you may just find a domino pendant in your mailbox in the future, so don’t be shy.
