Milk & Honey Necklace
About this design:
I love coming up with new designs for seed beads, and I especially love all of the new colors we just received! For this design, I paired pink, white, and gold tones with this Agate coin pendant for a unique layered necklace.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Seed Beads
- Gemstone Coin Pendant
- Gold Wire (20 & 24 Gauge)
- Jump Rings
- Lobster Clasps
- Headpins
- Super Glue
- Gold Chain

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Follow the attached tip for how to wire wrap a bail onto a pendant. Next, slide 13 gold 11/0 seed beads onto a headpin to make a bead charm. Use a jump ring to attach the charm to the wire loop on the pendant. See Tip: Wire Wrap a Bail on a Teardrop See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm |
|
Step 2: For the chain, use 24 gauge wire & seed beads to make bead links. Attach the links directly to one another until you've reached your desired length. I made two 11" pieces of bead chain, and then attached each end to the gemstone pendant with jump rings (or attach the link directly to the pendant). See Tip: Make a Wire Wrapped Bead Link |
|
Step 3: For the seed bead pendant necklace, you'll need 13 head pins. On the first headpin (which will be the one in the center), slide on 8 pink, 2 gold, 2 transparent rainbow light topaz, 2 more gold, and 7 opaque rainbow white 11/0 seed beads. The six headpins to the left & right will be the same, except reduce the opaque white seed bead by one each time. Next, make a bead link with a 20 gauge piece of wire. Slide on the headpins in the order shown in the picture, with each separated by an 8/0 seed bead. Use jump rings to attach your desired length of chain to each end of the link (I used two 7" pieces of chain). Lastly, I placed small drops of super glue in between the drops so they don't move around. See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm |
