This project looks like expensive beach resort jewelry but it is all handmade with craft wire beaded components connected into a chain and seed bead embellishments that drape over a stunning abalone shell. This is easy to create with basic jewelry skills and tools.
The beads that I used are from the MERMAID'S COVE Sam's Bead Box and include a lovely lamp work bead, Czech glass twisted beads and faceted barrel beads. See how I made wire spirals on the dangling lamp work bead and creatively suspended it from the shell pendant. Fun & Easy to make and wear!
