Braided Seed Bead Necklace

Seed beads, when used creatively, can make beautiful jewelry.

Here is a necklace that I made as a Christmas gift.

I strung three strands each of white seed beads, silver/grey, and clear.

I took these strands and braided them together, making a slightly chunky necklace.

I then took a silver chain and hooked it onto each end.

The necklace was long enough that I didn't even have to attach a clasp!

Thank you for looking!

Star Necklace

Today I am sharing with you a project that I had made for my sister for her birthday.

She wears a lot of blacks, greys, and white when she goes out with her friends on the weekends.

She also likes when I make her jewelry.

So, I thought I would combine those two things and make her a necklace to wear on her nights out!

I found this star pendant awhile back with her in mind, so I new that it would fit with the theme I wanted to go with.

I then did a double strand necklace, one with mainly black seed beads, 

the other with a grey/silver color seed beads. 

I used several different accent beads in black, white, and grey to make the necklace "pop".

Spring Time Necklace

I have had this gorgeous flower charm sitting in my box for awhile now.

Now that Spring is here I thought it would make a great Spring time necklace.

I started by picking three colors of seed beads to match the colors in the charm.

The charm is silver colored in background, with a gold color and bronze color for the flowers.

The flowers are accented with clear stones.

Pulling from those colors, I used grey/silver seed beads, brown/bronze seed beads, and yellow/gold seed beads. I strung one strand of each.

The strands are loosely braided together.

The necklace measures apx. 20" long (not including charm).

The charm is apx. 1.75" long, including the bail, and 0.5" wide.

It is a charm that is from one of the lines put out by Hirschberg Schutz & Co., Inc.
