Here is a fairly easy to make necklace.

I call it Gold Coin Necklace.

The Gold thread is DMC metallic thread in size 5. It can be found in the needlework area of most craft stores where the embroidary floss it kept.

Once you have roll into into a ball (to prevent knots) it really is easy to work with.

You can find the pattern HERE

I hope you like it!

I'd love to see any pictures anyone would like to share of a pattern of mine they made!

Same Necklace but done in Beads!

I kept looking and finally found the picture of the necklace I made using the one with charms basic pattern.

I told you it was verstile!

I simply did the (ch-1, slide a bead) method for the same lenght as I did in the butterfly charms one.

I used a purple mix of size E seed beads - about 2 bottles- and pink size 10 crochet thread.

The rest is the same.

Same crochet bell covers on the ends.

Same way to knot them all together.

Don't forget the handy dandy large eye beading needle when you're stringing all those beads onto your crochet thread!
