There are so many beautiful gemstone beads to explore and use in your jewellery making. These lovely purple and yellow Ametrine beads are believed to focus the mind and rid your aura of

negative energy.

"The bold and lively Meadowlark, a confident and outgoing bright yellow shade highlights the spring 2018 season, glistening with joy and illuminating the world around us."

Pantone

They're a perfect example of two different tones complimenting each other so well, and this can be emphasised in your designs.

Try sewing these onto a yellow fabric or combine them with more yellow beads to bring out the rich royal purple tone.

You can use matching threads like the pale yellow cord above, to bring your design together seamlessly and give it a really professional finish.

These dazzling

Margarita Earrings are

the ultimate holiday

accessory and can be

altered to include more

of your favourite colours

to match your Summer holiday outfits. If you're not a fan of statement earrings, you can make a single pendant using the same pattern and replace the earring finding with a jumpring to attach to a chain. Why not treat yourself to a few more matching crystals and make a beaded strap, sewn directly to the top of your pendant?
