For this design, I used a mix of Czech glass, recycled glass, shells, crystal, and moonstone nuggets to create bead charms for this sea-inspired necklace. I love how the soft colors of the beads look against the crystal chain, and I think the mermaid charm is a fun addition!
With your wire, make a bead link with a moondust crystal rondelle, a Czech glass AB crystal spacer, a czech glass large hole turquoise rondelle, another spacer, and another crystal. With a jump ring, attach a small piece of chain (a little less than an inch) to the bottom of the bead link. Make bead charms with the gemstones, Czech glass, shell, recycled glass, and crystal. Attach to the piece of chain with the jump rings. I made 10 charms, but you can make as many or as few as you'd like.
Make bead links (see picture for the beads I used) and attach them directly to each other. I made 16 links total (8 on each side of the necklace).
Attach a 3" piece of the Champagne crystal bead chain to the topmost bead link on each side of the necklace. Make two more bead links w/ the Czech Glass AB crystal spacers & the Seafoam Line Agate. Attach them to the bead chain with jump rings. Lastly, attach a 3" piece of the clear crystal chain to the top of the bead link on each side of the necklace. Finish by attaching a lobster clasp and jump ring to the ends of the chain.
