As I was looking through my leftover garden seed packets yesterday, I was inspired to create this “Dreaming of Spring” 3 strand necklace that pull varying shades of light to deeper greens and pale blues.

I used Apatite “coins” and pale puffed oval beads along with Chrysoprase “coins” and rondelles. It’s completed with Delica Glass Spacer beads and a Sterling Silver fancy hook and eye clasp.

The shortest strand is 17 1/2 inches long and the longest one is 20 1/2 inches long. This spring inspired color palette looks great on any skin tone and these colors go with many other contrasting ones making this a versatile addition to your jewelry wardrobe!
