This is one of my new favorite Swarovski color combinations...light gray pearls, crystal golden shadow and black diamond. (For a bigger picture and full instructions for the necklace, go to the Beadalon Design Workshop.)
Thanks! Don't worry too much about crimping - for this type of design, you just need a crimp that is slightly larger than the wire you're using. Beadalon wire spools and crimp packages show which size you need, too.
I've written more than 15 books about beading, including Hip to Bead and Katie's Basics of Beading. I also present Beading Lessons on each episode of the PBS show Beads, Baubles & Jewels and I teach workshops at national conventions like the Bead & Button Show.
I'm a crafty girl and a hip mama, a world traveler and a bookworm. If I had to choose between chocolate cake and carrot cake, the carrot cake would win hands down.

I agree, the colors are great.
Crimping is the next thing I need to learn. I've looked around a bit, but it seems like there is a lot to take in with wire sizes and composition.
