The bracelet and the necklace both have the angel charms and follow the same pattern with the seed beads and glass beads, although on a smaller scale with the bracelet.

Necklace of seed beads and small glass beads

by monika on Sunday, August 9th, 2009

I think I have at least three variations of this necklace, all with different length and slightly different compositions. Looking through my collection, I have found two similar ones, but it seems I no longer have this particular necklace left.

This necklace was made from blue seed beads, small dragonfly metal beads, blue and crystal faceted glass beads, frosted blue and crystal pyramid beads, small blue glass beads with AB finish, and slightly larger blue glass cubes with AB finish.

Blue heart pendant with angel

In some cases, I have made more than one copy or version of the same necklace. For example this one.

I found this lovely blue heart pendant with an angel, and just had to have it. At first I made only the necklace and later added the bracelet, but after a while I received a question about making more of them for a friend. Another friend bought the original copy, and since I really liked the necklace myself I made a new version but had to change the design since I did not have exactly the sameĀ  materials available at that time.

The original design is based on blue and silver-lined crystal seed beads and small round, heart and star shaped metal beads, and some small blue glass beads with AB finish.

For the final version of the necklace, I kept the basic design but added some cloisonne beads, faceted blue glass beads, silver-lined crystal twisted bugle seed beads, andĀ  a heart-shaped toggle clasp.
