A Grace Lampwork focal makes a tropical statement in this beaded necklace. The focal is perfectly complemented by lovely vintage TOHO beads that bring more playful color but elegant shine, as well. Touches of soft pink and little pops of black provide the perfect contrast to the beautiful blue colors on display. Since our vintage TOHO beads are available in limited supply, make sure to check out our Perfect Product Pairings below for other beads you could easily use in this design.
Slide a vintage pearlescent turquoise TOHO 4mm round bead onto a 2-inch TierraCast nickel-plated brass 21 gauge eye pin, followed by the Grace Lampwork Happy Frog pillow focal bead, another turquoise bead, and a TOHO 11/0 bead round in opaque shiny jet black. Make a simple loop at the top of the beads.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
