This necklace uses the links as a focal for the design and also as a connection point for the dangling chain tassel below. The open design of the gear links allow for all kinds of creative uses.�
We also love Cheri’s All Eyes on Me necklace, which features TierraCast Evil Eye links as stations between the chain. Cheri even made her own beaded links to space out between the chain.

Love the colors in the collection
I love using links in lots of ways. For a focal on a bracelet, or a neclase. Or making the whole piece from them. Intermittently with chain. Or to add more components or strands.
Gorgeous colors
Love using the links or connector and making different chain styles!
I love to make a chain between my semiprecious stones. It adds flexibility to a necklace and makes it so much more comfortable.
Great video. Love the emphasis of using links & connectors as an artistic design & even a focal feature as opposed to just a “functional piece”. I love links/connectors & I strive to use them in new & creative ways.
Thanks for the tutorials. Always helpful & easy to follow
I like to use the smallest of connectors to make quick & easy earrings.Add the ear wire on one end & a gemstone or Swarovski crystal on the other end & you have a pair of earrings to match what your wearing.
Great videos, your tutorials are always so wonderful and helpful. Love these colors and links.
Love using links, they can be the focus of the design or provide added interest. All of the videos and tutorials that Artbeads do really help to show the possibilities. Thank you!
