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.
wow these are gorgeous, love the multipule strands of beads, I do those again !!!
go jonnie!!!!!
Hi Jonnie! I follow you on Pinterest and am wondering if you drill the holes in the dominos or if you purchase the predrilled dominos that they sell at Hobby Lobby?
Thanks,
Alexandra
I’m looking for a bail or a way to ‘hang’ a horizontally drilled pendant (obsidian)
Any ideas would be welcome
Can you send me a pic? Are you open to wire wrapping? It would help for me to see it!
I would use seed pearls, peridot chips with flower metal spacers to adorn the pendant and add some of the same seed pearls, peridot and metal spacer (flower) (3 strands) on bottom of pendant.
