My daughter gave me this gorgeous handmade lampwork acorn bead for Christmas and today I fabricated this necklace. I already had the gemstone beads and from the price I paid which was still on the string, they are some pretty special beads. They also match perfectly, which is why I chose them from my stash. The links are made from 18g copper which was balled up on the ends in the flame and loosely wrapped around itself. I used 14g for the acorn head pin and 12g for the ring upon which it sits. My idea was for viney tendril types of things. I'm thinking that I'm not 100% happy with the ring which supports the acorn. It doesn't quite look viney enough but for now, I'm happy with it. I'm choosing not to patina it with liver of sulfer.
