Shell and seed bead stunner

Below is one of the first jewelry pieces I ever made. I purchased the beads on eBay.

This 3 piece set comprising of a necklace, bracelet and earrings is made from orange/yellow painted shell beads (heart shaped and oval) and red seed beads.

I wanted a very simple piece of jewelry to match already very elaborate attire so this is what I came up with. There are about 15 seed beads in between the orange/yellow shell beads which make up the necklace and bracelet. I used a gold clasp to attach each of the pieces. The necklace is about 20 inches while the bracelet was 7.5 inches long.
For the earrings, I used gold colored head pins and fixed flower bead stoppers, added the shell bead and seed beads then attached to the gold colored hook.  There we go, ready to be worn.

Thanks for stopping by. I would love to hear from you.
