My latest design incorporates these really fun beads that I purchased from Fire Mountain Gems. I had been seeing a lot of the jewelry in stores using these beads so I wanted to see what I could come up with and I am pretty pleased with the results. I combined sterling silver chain on half the necklace and beading wire on the rest. I strung the new foil lined grey coin beads I had purchased with some Swarovski pearl in grey and Swarovski crystal in amethyst and here is the result:
I love this necklace. I love that is is oversized, but not overwhelming. I paired this with a light brown sweater and it looked great. I am thinking I need to make some earrings to match....maybe the amethyst crystal with the grey foil lined bead on a single headpin? What do you think? I would love to get your suggestions.
