The necklace sits around the collar bone of the neck so is quite short with a large pendant. The pendant is a bronze disk with blue jewel enamel and glitter. Jewel enamel is a UTEE resin which sets like marble and appears to have several layers to the colour. The glitter I used is a heat sensitive glitter which bonds it's self to the hot jewel enamel when it was setting.
I decided the beads should repeat themselves so I started with light blue Swarovski crystals which sparkle almost as much as the glitter in the pendant. I spaced these with oval beads of the same shade of blue then contrasted with a darker blue. In between the dark blue beads, I decided to use bronze tone accent beads, to mirror the bronze of the pendant.
For the upper half of the necklace I set out the beads the same way but instead of the diamond shaped bronze tone accent beads I used a pretty round flower patterned bead.
