2. Long Pendant
These marble pendant are oh-so-pretty! I love the black and white look of the pendant against the gold necklace components. The modern-looking pendant bails are also quite gorgeous. Unlike the pink/white marbled clay from the previous tutorial, these marble pendants were created using three shades: gray, black, and white. After massaging them together, they were cut into rectangles and baked. The pendant was then assembled after cooling.

4. Flat Rings
These DIY marble rings are simply gorgeous. The tutorial linked below showcases a different way to come up with the marble look. You don't twist or clump the clay together. What you do is prepare a cylindrical polymer clay in a single color. White should work. You then chop off small pieces of your secondary clay color. Attach them to your white clay and then work them together until you have a nicely marbled piece. Cut into discs or domes to fit your ring base. Bake and cool before attaching to said base.

7. Gemstone Marble Pendants
Most of the marble polymer clay beads and pendants featured here were formed with the use of the hands. However, for those who want their marble jewelry components to have a more refined look, using a mold is highly recommended. A gemstone style mold should be perfect for this endeavor. They come in many shapes and sizes and will be perfect for forming clay pendants.
