... A cool, sparkly, big jewelry piece around your neck.
... And if it's shaped like a star, even better :) !
I made my own.

--> You need:
* some round 18 gauge Half Hard sterling silver
* some round 28 gauge Dead Soft sterling silver
* glass beads
* natural pearls
* Swarovski crystals in different shades and shapes of blue and aqua
* two moon stone beads
* a sterling silver clasp
* acqua blue and ivory round satin cord
--> How-to:
* start by drawing a star on a piece of paper, including a ring on the top, this will be the pattern you'll be using to bend the 18 gauge HH wire in shape
* once the star and the ring on top (to make it as a pendant) is done, twist one end of the wire around the next part of the star few times so it won't get undone
* cut the wire and eventually twist it again so it won't pinch you, nor your clothes ;)
* take the 28 DS wire and wrap it in one of the junction of the star
* start beading the big stones first, scattered around (this will give you a sort of spider-web so you will have plenty of wrapping spots for the smaller stones and the beads)
* bead some of the small glass beads on the 28 DS wire (5 or 6 at the time), wrap it onto the structure of the star, bead some more, until you'll be happy with the result!
This is how the back of my star looks like!
