Jewelry Making Idea: Festival of Color Necklace

Festival of Color Necklace
It looks like a string of fruity candy with all the luscious colors in this necklace. We have combined fuchsia crystals, peridot, and tanzanite druks and our very pretty red millifiori rainbow beads to make this colorful and fun necklace! Accented with our gold plated Bali beads and our green iris pony beads, this is a combination of colors that you are going to love to wear with just about anything. We have used our bead aligners for this idea, but we have used them tube side out for a very different look. Finished length is approximately 18 inches.
