bead crochet necklace - blue snake

Long time I didn't crochet with beads. One day I scrolled Instagram and saw beautiful necklaces and bracelets in bead crochet technique. That what I want to do next! 

 

This pretty necklace is made of the pattern "Blue Snake" by talented artist Sofia Vasileva, which I bought in her Etsy shop. I like how it turned out. I used czech seed beads instead delica. There are colors like deep blue, metallic gold and silver, brass, crystal clear with light blue inside.

 

The necklace is 20.5" (52 cm) long and about 1/3" (9 mm) thick. The photo is not so good, how beautiful the necklace is in real life. I'm really happy with it. 

How it looked in the start on the next picture - crochet hook size 12/6 and bead thread size B.  

Thank you Sofia for your inspiration! I'm ready to crochet a new necklace and bracelet :)

elegant swarovski necklace

The necklace is beadwoven in right-angle technique. I used swarovski pearls and bicones, Toho seed beads and gold-filled S-clasp.

My favorite colors - satin shining gold pearls and sparkling red bicones.

Total lenght is 18.9" (48 cm) including clasp.

Mermaid's set

I bought 10 strands of freshwater pearls from the shop 8Seasons. Now I have a lot of work to use all of them. This design I named "Mermaid's Collar", the necklace is made in herringbone and coraling technique. I've added shell spikes for more satin shimmering. Tiny golden daisy beads add more sparkling.

Gold plated S-clasp is easy to use.

freshwater pearl set

The set have a new home. It was made for Marina from Suvor-off.com. Sterling silver clips with beautiful shiny freshwater pearls are comfortable for sensitive ears. They measure about 1.5 cm (0.6") long. And this amazing necklace is very-very long. There are 189 beautiful big freshwater pearls in the necklace. Pearl size is 8 mm (0.32") and the necklace measures about 160 cm (63") long. It's really long.

Used real freshwater pearls and blue zircon rondelles.

All pearls are knotted, there is a knot in between each and every pearl. That knot does a couply great things: It keeps the pearls separated slightly so they don't rub against each other and break off the outer shell. The knot also keeps your pearls safe in case you accidentally break the necklace. If the strand breaks, only one pearl falls off the strand, instead of 188 pearls rolling all over the floor!

This set was made for a custom order. I have used big freshwater pearls size 8-9 mm and some rondelles with green zircones. The earring measures about 3 cm including sterling silver leverback ear wire. The necklace is about 62 cm long with sterling silver lobster clasp.

I love the combination of cold and warm shades of green.

rich and glamour

This necklace 'Spring Garden' with lovely green beaded beads I made for mother's schoolmate, who lives in St. Petersburg. In this city are many beautiful palaces. In the last century on these roadways and quays there went horses with carriages and in palaces lives tsar. It's all it was rich, satiny glamour and with gold shine.

So I was inspired with this imperial palace in Peterhof (Petrodvorets), often referred like "the Russian Versaille":
