Handmade Blue Teardrop Beads, Delicately Bordered with Pearls and Gold Accents Necklace

Materials:

1. Teardrop-shaped blue glass beads: Used as the focal points of the design.
   
2. Small white pearls: Arranged around the teardrop beads to create a decorative border.
3. Gold seed beads: Used for the base structure of the necklace.
4. Nylon or beading thread: To string the beads together securely.
5. Jump rings or crimp beads: For securing the ends.
6. A clasp: To fasten the necklace.

Step-by-Step Procedure:

1. Prepare the Materials:

   • Gather the beads, thread, and tools like pliers, scissors, and a beading needle.

2. Create the Base Strand:

   • Cut a length of beading thread (around 1.5 times the desired necklace length).
   • Attach a clasp to one end of the thread using a crimp bead.

3. String the Base Beads:

   • String gold seed beads to form the main strand, leaving space where you want to attach the decorative components.

4. Add Teardrop Beads:

   • For each focal design, string a teardrop-shaped blue bead and position it on the strand.

5. Surround with Pearls:

   • After each teardrop bead, add small white pearls on either side to frame the blue bead.
   • Use additional seed beads between pearls to create symmetry.

6. Repeat the Pattern:

   • Continue this pattern until the necklace is complete.

7. Secure the Ends:

   • Finish the other end with a crimp bead and attach the clasp.

8. Adjust and Finish:

   • Check for even spacing and secure knots before trimming any excess thread.
