Shimmer Pools Necklace
Shimmer Pools Necklace
Stitch a rainbow necklace with shimmering crystals! A relative of the Shimmer River Bracelet, this piece will show off all your favorite crystal colors in one dazzling necklace. Use Demi round beads to bezel a shimmering rainbow of flat back crystals along with a stunning pear focal crystal. This fancy design is perfect for showing off these thin seed beads, which hold the crystals in place without covering up their sparkle. A custom double toggle clasp finishes the necklace. Stitch the necklace on its own, or make it with extra components for matching earrings!
