Treasures of the Sea Necklace
by Elaina W on 06/11/20
About this design:
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!
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Crystal Bead Chain
- Czech Glass Mermaid Bead
- Gold Headpins
- Gold Chain (1" piece)
- Gold Jump Rings
- Gold Lobster Clasp
- Gold 22 or 24 Gauge Wire
- Assorted Czech Glass, Gemstones, Shells, Recycled Glass, Seed Beads, and Crystals (see below for everything I used)
- Round Nose Pliers
