 Strawberry
Shortcake Necklace
This dazzling necklace is not only three
strands, which is so popular right now, but also incorporates vintage beads
which promise to be hot this year. Many different types of beads
are combined with varied seed beads, that connect with the Frosted Mauve
two-hole bead and mesh with a strawberry/pink color theme. Although
the material list is lengthy, this is a basic beginner necklace.
The necklace length is 15" to the first split ring and 18" to the last
split ring. Sure to be loved by all!
