On this Jewelry with Gin we'll create an elegant, freeform necklace with delicate wire embroidered with shimmering crystals and colorful beads. All of the components will be included in kits that will be available in limited supply at the Clarkston, Toco Hills, Northlake, Decatur, Scott Candler, and Hairston Crossing branches. You will need to have round nose pliers, square nose pliers, cutters, and a ruler on hand. **A little reminder that there will be tutorials, but no kits throughout the month of September. Each week I'll demonstrate a beautiful new project using beads and supplies that are easy to find online or at your local craft store. Then in October, we'll be back with tutorial kits and ready to create together again! Email Gin with any questions at [email protected]. https://youtu.be/rg211UxodCo

This week on Jewelry with Gin, we'll create a graceful necklace by framing colorful pearls in flowing wire curves for a design that's elegant, vibrant, and easy to personalize. All of the components will be included in kits that will be available in limited supply at the Toco Hills, Hairston Crossing, Northlake, Decatur, Scott Candler, and Clarkston, branches. You will need to have round nose pliers, square nose pliers, cutters, a cylindrical item—such as an ink pen—to shape the curves, and a ruler on hand. Enjoy! **A little September update! I'm taking a short creative breather in September. Don't worry—the tutorials aren't going anywhere. Each week I'll demonstrate a beautiful new project using beads and supplies that are easy to find online or at your local craft store.
