Clover Palace Necklace
Designed by Ashley Bunting
Green and purple, our favorite colors here at The Beadin' Path, and for good reason. Purple and green compliment each other so well and create a bright fun contrast. Paired with gold this yummy necklace is reminiscent of a vast field filled with clovers and wild flowers. Asymmetry adds to the fun and care free feel of this piece.

Step1: Make the clustered focal piece. Do this by making three bead dangles, feed one jade 12mm round on a head pin and make a closed wrapped loop, feed one 8mm peridot swirl round on a head pin and make a closed wrapped loop, and feed one 6mm lilac rosette on a head pin and make a closed wrapped loop. Put three balsam poplar leaves each on their own 4mm jump ring. Feed an 8mm jump ring through the top loop and down through the center hole of the gogo hoop. Feed the jump ring through the back of the scalloped oval hoop, then feed the three balsam poplar leaves onto the jump ring. In front of the leaves feed the three bead dangles on the jump ring. Close the jump ring and behind the gogo hoop attach another jump ring through the first jump ring.
Step 2: Attach another 8mm jump ring to the bottom of the gogo hoop. Crimp two foot long pieces of soft flex to the ring. On one piece of soft flex string the beads in this order, one olivine rondell, start the patter of one 8mm peridot swirl round and two rondells repeat this pattern until the eighth 8mm round, then add one more rondell and crimp to an 8mm jump ring. On the second piece of soft flex string beads in this order, one rondell, one 8mm swirl round, and one 12mm round. Repeat this pattern until the sixth 8mm round, add another rondell and crimp to the jump ring.
Step 3: Make two bead links. Feed one 12mm jade round onto an eye pin and turn a loop. Attach the first link to the jump ring at the end of the soft flex. Attach an 8mm jump ring and the next bead link. To the last link attach another jump ring and the chain. To the other end of the chain using a jump ring attach the lobster claw clasp.

The End!
