	Since I have a love for machinery, with all the gears and things, steampunk is a style that I love also.
The centerpiece is made with vintage copper findings, Swarovski crystals, and vintage wrist watch parts.
	I built the chain of the necklace with links of Swarovski Crystals, watch gears, and vintage stampings.
I like to sign my one-of-a-kind pieces. This is the back of the centerpiece.
	I finished the necklace with an antiqued copper toggle clasp.

The illusion necklace is something that most people are familiar with. I decided that I would give a new twist to it and use colored nylon wire instead of clear in this necklace

I use a color of wire that compliments the color elements used in the necklace. The center focal is a vintage button that I took out of a bracelet. I wanted to share this necklace with you because of the uniqueness of the design.

Following are step by step instructions to make this necklace.

You can use any stones or crystal rondelles that you like to make this necklace. There are lots of colors of nylon wire available, so choose one that will compliment the beads or crystals that you use.

If you want to see more designs using colored nylon wire, check out my DVD #11 and DVD #12 devoted to the use of this wire to make unique designs at Pizazz Beads.

Following are close up views of this unique necklace.

I made this necklace because I love to design unique and unusual jewelry. I know that all designs may not appeal to everyone but I hope that if you are a jewerly maker you will be inspired to stretch your design imagination by what you see here.
