Double strand necklace with Smokey gray metallic beads and a silver heart pendant

This is a double strand necklace- I intentionally twisted the two strands together so they hold their shape. It’s about 20 inches in length, made with pretty metallic gray beads, strung on .3mm silver beading wire and finished with a lobster claw clasp. The heart charm is replaceable - you just need pliers to open the jump ring and then you can put any other charm on the slide bail. But the heart charm looks really nice with the necklace. I get a lot of compliments on this one. 🙂

Beaded necklace blue and green glass beads - really pretty

Image
This necklace is really pretty - made on .3mm silver beading wire and finished with a lobster claw clasp and 2 inch extender chain . I haven’t measured it but it’s a standard length - about 18 inches. I’m used small round silver metal spacer beads in between the glass beads so they won’t chip over time. The pendant is hand-made with a jump ring, small slide  bail and a long glass bead on a decorative headpin.   The pendant can be switched out for any other charm- you just need pliers to open the jump ring.

Double strand necklace clear seed beads with princess crown design

Image
This is my first time making this necklace design and I really like how it turned out. I was inspired by these awesome double-hole flat beads I bought from Fire Mountain Gems (the gray beads shown in picture above). The necklace is two strands but it’s connected by a double bead about every inch. I call it “princess crown design” because I think the front resembles a tiara. I used some metal spacer beads on either side of the three larger glass beads to make it more shiny. It’s about 17 inches plus a two inch chain extender, made with .3mm silver beading wire and finished with a silver colored lobster claw clasp.

Turquoise necklace brown cord with beads

Image
This necklace is made in an 18 inch cord (2mm coated leather cord in metallic bronze) and finished with a lobster claw clasp and jump ring. There are 12 total wooden beads on the necklace- six groups of 2 beads spread about an inch apart and held in place by knots. The pendant is turquoise (imitation)-  I made it myself using a decorative silver colored head pin, a silver colored jump ring and a pretty antique silver colored slide bail. Side note- I’ve never worn turquoise jewelry before, but I found a bunch of these beads on sale on my very favorite jewelry website (Fire Mountain Gems), so I figured I’d try my hand at making turquoise jewelry (hopefully to sell it at a local arts and crafts fair this year). But I’ve decided I love turquoise- it’s so pretty! And since the pendant itself is large and beautiful, it looks nice with the simple leather cord ( I’ve also never worn leather cord jewelry either). So you’ll see more of these on my Blog soon. Also- for anyone who makes jewe
