sea-nettles-necklace-2SEA NETTLES NECKLACE

Kim writes: “I have always been fascinated with jellyfish. These amazing creatures of the sea move with the currents of the ocean with their long graceful tentacles drifting beneath them. When I saw a large group of jellyfish floating past the boat I was in, it almost seemed like each one was connected to the next one by their tentacles. This formation of the drifting jellyfish is what gave me the inspiration for the necklace. I have named the necklace after a type of jellyfish called Sea Nettles.”

Pearls and crystals are woven together to create oblong beads. These oblong beads are connected together with long strands of seed beads, pearls and crystals to make the necklace strand. The center piece of the necklace has a large three dimensional diamond shaped pendant constructed with pearls and round crystals. The closure at the end of the necklace is a lovely flat button made up of seed beads and pearls. A loop of beads slips over the button to secure the necklace around your neck. The necklace has a fluid feel to it and drapes beautifully around the neck.  Instructor: Kimberly Stathis
