I've never worked much with ball chains...seems kind of cheap. But I found a decorative ball chain and gave it a try. I had a beautiful faceted, large drill hole, black onyx bead that I strung on first. I used two large drill hole fresh water"potato" pearls to encase the onyx bead, two pretty, large-drill hole decorative silver metal beads, and two black glass pearls for the focal piece. I had two more glass black pearl beads, so I "anchored" them on the ball chain with black crimp covers. To finish off the necklace I used decorative ball chain endings and magnet closures. Simple, quick, and pretty.
I'm sure there are better ways to work with ball chain...but this was my first attempt.
All recommendations welcomed.
