Gemstone Necklaces

Gemstones beads, with their rich, sophisticated appearance balanced by an exquisite earthiness and glorious individuality, have long been a coveted material for beaded gemstone necklaces and necklaces.  The bead store we worked and taught at (that, unfortunately, closed during the recession) had an amazing gemstone wall that ran from one end of the store to the other.  That magical wall had a way of captivating beaders who would stand and study the beautiful variety of glorious gemstones for hours at a time.  We miss that gem wall (sniff, sniff).  Fortunately, Cara and I were re-inspired when visiting a bead store while traveling that has a beautiful selection of gemstone beads.  So, after blowing the budget (who here doesn’t relate to that), we now have our own (mini) gemstone wall with “tons” of cool new gemstone beads for us to play with.

Look for future gemstone necklace patterns that will either feature or incorporate beautiful gemstone beads in a variety of gemstone necklace styles and techniques.  In the meantime, if you can’t find beading instructions that show how to make a gemstone necklace in the exact style you want to make, don’t hesitate to submit a suggestion for a beading tutorial.  We are constantly working on, and adding, new beading patterns for beaded necklaces in this and other beading categories so, make sure to check back often or subscribe to our newsletter and be notified of fun new beading patterns as they’re released.

Remember, all of our necklace beading patterns will hold your hand every step of the way, ensuring you’ll have fun and will be successful with your handmade necklace - we guarantee it! Thank you for shopping Simple Bead Patterns and, as always, bead happy!
