Earrings, bracelets, necklaces ... I love to make them all. Swarovski crystal beads bring sparkling colors and
visual texture to my jewelry designs. Czech Republic glass beads offer rich deep colors, with individual
2-tone Czech beads often possessing unique color shading within the clear glass of the bead. For warm colors, I like to make
bracelets from the natural beauty of obsidian and jasper beads.
| Silver color bead caps enhance this necklace of soft sage Czech Republic glass beads and sparkling Swarovsk® crystal bicone beads.
I did not add any clasp to this necklace due to the length and ease of placing this length necklace over my hair.
This necklace is the same pattern as the one in which I used Sterling Silver Bali bead caps. Using silver color bead caps instead saved me $36.00 in
overall costs to make this necklace.
Approximate length of necklace: 54 inches and used as a doubled necklace

I'm showing photo of the silver color bead caps that I used to reduce the cost of this necklace when compared to using the Sterling
Silver Bali bead caps.
This 54 inch necklace has 54 of these silver color bead caps which costed me next to nothing to purchase in quantity of 500 to a bag.
If I had used the Sterling Silver Bali bead caps at a cost of $4.00 for six bead caps, it would had added near $36.00 to the costs of this necklace.
