Precious Sparkle Beads Projects:-

Over the coming months we will be developing our first ever projects and inspiration section- and to whet your appetite, we have designed this necklace. Best of all, all the beads you need for it, including the focal cost less than £7! That's right, semi-precious chic on a budget.

We used an American Jasper Focal Pendant and 6mm Round Silver Leaf Jasper beads, but there are so many ways that you can make a similar necklace using other focals and round beads found in our shop. We mixed them with Bali silver to great effect. A quick and easy necklace to make- and best of all, there was enough left over to make these:-

Fancy creating your own version? We'd love to see! E-mail us photos of your finished creations.

See our latest project in the May issue of "Crafts Beautiful" on pages 114-115. The semi-precious gemstone beads and focal used to make the whole set cost under £10! Here is a sneak peek:-

Crafts Beautiful Magazine (February 2008 issue) has two great projects using Precious Sparkle Beads' own rectangle, briolette and chip beads! They can be recreated using colours other than those in the magazine. The possibilities and combinations are endless! We like the idea of using blues or purples and greens in the same shapes...
