Enamel beads trimmed in gold add an elegant pop of color and exciting contour to this design. I added pearls to give a soft glow. This is a great piece for spring to summer wear.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • 3 enamel 6.5x6mm puff hearts
  • 1 enamel twisted barrel
  • 3 pink peony enamel barrels
  • 2 turquoise enamel barrels
  • 3 pacific blue enamel tiny tubes
  • 1 peach blossom tiny tube
  • 4 enamel dotted spacers in three colors
  • 1 lavender enamel tube
  • 1 turquoise enamel tiny tube
  • 1 white zig zag barrel
  • 2 enamel small spacers in two colors
  • gold lined 8/0 seed beads
  • stringing cord
  • crimp tube and covers
  • 1 heart toggle
  • 2' turquoise cable chain
  • lobster clasp
  • 2 jump rings
  • 1 head pin
  • 1 mother of pearl tulip

  • glass pearls in

  • 2 enamel melon rounds in two colors

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Cut 30" of cord. String the beads on in the order shown or however you want using a collapsible needle (optional). Create a bead charm by sliding the mother of pearl tulip onto a head pin. Create a loop at the top with pliers or a looper. Wrap the wire around the base of the loop and trim. Now this charm will be ready to slide on when it's time.

Step 2

To attach the toggle clasp feed the cord through the crimp tube and then through the toggle loop. Bring the cord back down through the crimp tube. I go through the crimp tube one more time with my cord. Bring the cord down through a few beads then trim. Be sure the crimp bead is close to the toggle. Crimp the tube. Attach the crimp cover using pliers. Repeat this step to attach the toggle bar.

Step

Step 3

This is how it should look.

Step 4

For the chain necklace, Cut the chain to your desired length. Slide on the heart charm. Attach the lobster clasp using jump rings.
