Choose a statement tassel, crystal or gemstone pendant and combine your favourite with a matching chain, long enough to fit over your head. Simply cut your chain to the length you need and attach either end to the loop at the top of the pendant using a bail or a large jumpring.

SUMMER STATEMENT

There's still plenty of Summer sunshine

left to enjoy! Celebrate the sun and try pairing your favourite orange and yellow materials with complimentary purples,

pinks and greens.

These amazing cabochons from Les perles par Puca all feature a unique dappled surface effect and different tones that shine through in the light.

Cabochons are a really useful addition to any beaders craft stash, and can be used in a wide range of projects. Try gluing your cabochons onto cards or handmade gift boxes for extra texture, colour and shine. These fab cabochons can be captured within your beaded designs as well. You can soutache or bezel around them using matching cords and seed beads.
