Crystal Clay Rhinestone Necklace

I typically create jewelry pieces from broken, vintage bits.  It’s becoming more difficult to find quality vintage pieces to use, so I decided to change things up and make a necklace using new elements.  To adhere the chatons and rhinestones to the bezels, I used Crystal Clay.  Crystal Clay is a two-part epoxy clay that cures without heat.  This clay allows you to design your own unique pendants – and can be used on other art projects as well.  Simply flatten the clay into the bezels and then add your bling.  The only downside to Crystal Clay is that you need to wear gloves to work with it.  I sometimes find it difficult to wear gloves while doing intricate work.  However, the end result is certainly worth it.  Elements and instructions from Nunn Design.
