These handmade lampwork beads in a lovely mix of aqua, white and gold are that little bit special. Teamed up with 3 very large (12mm) white freshwater pearls, small turquoise glass beads and small white freshwater pearls interspersed with aqua seed beads they make a gorgeous necklace which measures 39cm with a 5cm pendant drop. It has a sterling silver hook and eye clasp and makes a lovely set with the Aqua Swirl Earrings - (E1).

A photo can’t really do justice to this fantastic knitted wire as it can’t quite catch the way it shimmers or convey how beautifully delicate it looks. This piece has large carved purple jade beads, white freshwater pearls, iridescent seed beads woven into the fabric and a nugget of faceted semi- precious lapidalite enhanced with wire. The pendant hangs 5½cm on a 65cm long necklace with a silver-plated heart shaped trigger clasp.
