Constellation Jewels- Lacerta

Project Info:

Level: Beginner

Estimated time: 4-6 Hours

By Sam Applegate

Named after an ancient serpent, Lacerta is the smallest constellation zig zagging her way across the Northern Hemisphere. Green onyx has enough depth and intensity to match the tales of Lacerta snaking across the skies.
This project explores a combination of stringing and wire wrapping skills to create a cohesive jewelry set. Techniques include patterning and stringing gemstones, using end tips, and wire wrapping beads and briolettes.
