A simple design using chunky coral beads and dyed howlite.

Pretty faceted agate mixed with freshwater pearls. This is a long necklace, about 90cm long. It used a whole strand of the pearls, and about two-thirds of the strand of agate.

I really wasn’t sure if the bronze would go with the gun metal plated glass beads, but I really love this combo! You’ll only need one strand/packet of each item on the materials list – you could even make a matching bracelet. The front section is simply strung on tigertail using a clamshell at either…

I love using this fine chain with crimps to create fast and beautiful jewellery. This is a double strand necklace, using about 2 metres of chain.

I can’t stop playing with this fine chain! This time I’ve come up with a cute turquoise and jasper bracelet – although it’s actually just one long strand, so you could also wear it as a necklace. The chain is approx. 80cm long.

This long necklace is simply strung on tigertail and uses a toggle clasp. You can wear in long or wrap it around twice like we have in the photo.
