Alternative Designs: 

There are many alternative designs that can be considered.  First, as shown at right, you can replace the white pearl beads with another color like the light grey pearl beads shown here.  In this necklace, using the grey pearl beads, we elected to use jet black size 11 seed beads between the pearl beads.  You can choose any color combination of beads and seed beads that you like.  

Another easy change to make is to use a different clasp.  You can view our selection of toggle clasps here, but you are not limited to toggle clasps.   Some people prefer the filigree style of clasps that you can view here.  Should you decide to use a gold clasp instead of silver, we recommend using gold-filled 2x2mm crimp beads instead of the sterling silver crimp beads.  With a gold or gold-filled clasp, we also recommend using gold size 11 silver lined seed beads. 

Finally, when you get even more advanced, you can consider a multi-strand necklace or bracelet like this one.  Our instructions for these jewelry making projects can be found by selecting here.
