Sea Shell Necklace

Princess length, 17.5 inches long not including the toggle clasps. Toggle clasps, on average, add on another inch. This length works well with crew and high neck lines. It can also be a contrast when wearing a low, plunging neckline.

The shell is made out of Amazonite. Amazonite got its name from the Amazon river. It is most commonly found in Brazil, india, as well as the United States and other places.

The brass spacer beads are vintage Ethiopian 8 mm brass.

As usual with my creations, the clasp is toggle.

Beachcomber Bracelet

Several weeks ago I took a class for this bracelet.  As you look at it, you will see how the name Beachcomber originated.  I used shells, shell pieces, gold mermaid and dolphin, fishes of different colors and other various beads, to include seed beeds.  It requires the use of both wire and thread and needle.   There was a wide selection of beachy things that I was able to choose from for the beachy embellishments.  It only took me about two hours to make the bracelet.  Of course, this was the second time I made it because originally it was too big for my arm.  I have a hard time getting bracelet sizes just right!  I plan on making another one this weekend using diifferent colors and beads. No two would ever be alike.
