Necklace To Match the Oat Sphere Earrings

The design is very simple because the earrings and necklace tassle are quite fussy. The necklace slips over the head and sits around the cleavage, so would be perfect for polo necked tops. I deliberately made the necklace longer so it wouldn't clash when the earrings were also being worn.

This necklace is going to be one of my final projects on the C&G Course. Part of the final requirement is 6 sets of necklaces and earrings.

Week 2 - C & G Course - Oat Spheres

Despite sounding to the contrary, oat spheres are not a breakfast cereal! They are beads made from 'oats', which are little plastic oval beads. This week we had to make several spheres and incorporate them into a necklace and earring set. I used a very simple design for the earrings, with a couple of Swarovski crystals on each to add a little sparkle.

I then used the earrings to inspire me for the necklace design. Because the spheres are fairly obvious, I wanted to keep it simple. So, I imitated the earring design and mounted the oats on eye pins, with more crystals and some seed beads. I am now thinking of a subtle but pretty way to link them up. Watch this space!
