I have been collecting beads for many years and I really need to start using them, so I’ve made some fun beaded necklaces.

This one is made of dainty, 3 mm faceted, rhodolite garnet beads in the loveliest shade of purple. It is interspersed with matte gold-filled beads for a rich look and ends with my favorite teardrop lobster clasp in gold-filled. It measures 16.5-inches and is perfect on its own, or layered with your favorite gold chains and pendants.
