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!

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.

This necklace and more are available in my Etsy shop

Creating Necklaces

I have gotten back into creating necklaces. I had not made one in awhile,

but I had a request for one for Christmas, and now I have made 

quite a few in the past week and a half.

The following necklace is one that was inspired by some shell beads that I had gotten awhile back. I had not been able to figure out what to do with them, then it hit me! I had the perfect seed beads to match the shells, so why not make a necklace out of them!

I decided that this necklace is going to be a one of kind! It is for sale in my Etsy shop.

Once it is sold, there will not be another listing!
