Description

The Shore's Edge Necklace was inspired by the beaches of Florida.  I really enjoy the shades of green and the free-formed focal piece knot which  is embellished with 11/0 seed beads that remind me of the seafoam. (Must be the crystal AB finish)  I couldn't resist to add a few freshwater pearls to really complete the theme. 

Materials

Various shades of green seed beads ranging from size 8/0 - 11/0 -  multi-strand and twisted up nice, clear AB finish crystal teardrops, freshwater pearls to accent the theme of the necklace.

 

Transite, Fireline, Sterling Silver

Step by step

  • Step 1

    Strung 6 long strands of my green bead mix.

  • Step 2

    Attached and affixed these strands to the clasp and finals I used.

  • Step 3

    Twisted all strands and formed the focal piece knot.

  • Step 4

    Embellished with piece by sewing on the pearls and crystals in the right spots. Added more pearls to "cap-off" the finals before the clasp.
