Alternative Gold Bands Sources

Posted by Maire Loughran Aug 8, 2008

My article on how to make the circular pendant Charlize Theron wears in the beginning of the movie Hancock, is published. In the movie, the pendant appears to be a textured 14K gold open circle hung on a black silk cord.

Here are some possible sources if you don't wish to use the 14K gold wedding band I use in the project instructions. All of the below are available online from Fire Mountain Gems. None of these components are karated gold so the prices are really inexpensive:

• Textured oval shaped drop - 3/4 inch in length costs about $5.
• Decorative Circle Shape - with surface design, this is inexpensive as well.
• Ching Dynasty Design Coins - for a slightly different look. And the coins are extremely inexpensive.

Rio Grande also has some awesome components you can put to use in the necklace. You have to be registered at Rio Grande to purchase from them. If you have a Rio Grande paper catalog check out the 14K gold components.
