  Suggestions for Picking Your Materials:
  1. When picking out your beads have in mind whether you would like a pendant or if you would like the necklace to have the same pattern throughout.
  2. If you would like a pendant, select the pendant piece first. This is most often the largest piece of your necklace and will be the main focus.
  3. After you have picked a centerpiece, pick a strand of beads that compliment the focal bead.
  4. After you have picked the strand of complimentary beads, select a few individual beads to add to the design.
  5. At this point you are ready to add any silver or gold spacers for accents.
  6. After you have picked all of the beads, you will be ready to pick out your clasp. You can pick from magnetic, lobster, hook and eye, spring clasp, toggle, and “s” hook. If you are unsure which would be best for your beads just ask.
