Shell beads can be used singly to make jewelry, and also can be mixed and matched with other jewelry beads together. You can use them freely to make any style you like, for they are very versatile. I have purchased some shell beads, crystal beads, glass beads and some jewelry findings from PandaHall.com last month. And that order arrived so fast which is a little beyond of my expectation. I really very pleased with my order. So when I received the email from its customer service team, I replied that:” I am very pleased and impressed with your quality items and professional customer service. I definitely will be your loyal customer.” When I saw those beautiful items, I had a design inspiration in my mind, and I put it into action the next day. I used some light blue shell beads, blueish crystal beads, two large light green glass heart beads, some gold spacer beads, ball pins, several jump rings and a toggle clasps made a necklace.

The stunning necklace wouldn’t look out of place at an expensive jewelers, yet it is so easy to make and affordable too. Are you interested in it? Just have a try to make yours.
