Spring Flower Necklace

Scilla and Lily of the Vallery flowers in my garden inspired me to create Spring Flower Necklace. Spring is the season when I want to wear light-colored clothes, so I tried to make a necklace to complement white, green, pink, and purple tops or dresses.

The necklace consists of two parts: the spiral and the pendant. Like many beadwork designs, Spring Flower Necklace combines many more beaded motifs and elements than I can describe in a couple of words. Sounds familiar? Let’s explore the techniques, tools, and materials I used to make it.

Spring Flower Necklace Pendant

There are seven beaded flowers bead woven into the pendant. I used 15/0 seed beads and the herringbone stitch to make these flowers.

Using the picot stitch technique, I added fluorite chip beads to the pendant structure to connect it to the spiral design.

The Spiral

Herringbone spiral is one of those stitches that help you create a beaded jewelry accessory in no time! I used three sizes of seed beads in three colors. 

Later I sewed on the Peridot and fluorite chip beads.

Spring Necklace Design Elements

I like using pearls in my designs. This necklace is a good example of how I incorporated it into my chosen theme. Glass pearls here are not focal points but delicate details that contribute to the spring flower color palette. 

Peridot and fluorite chip beads are not the main elements, but they connect the pendant and the spiral parts and make the necklace whole!
