DESIGN NOTES
The beads in the necklace are threaded in the order of (7 3mm beads, 7 5mm beads, 7 3mm beads, 7 2mm beads) to create a design wherein the larger beads are at the middle and the smaller ones near the ends of the necklace. Experiment with random arrangements of different sized beads too. Beads are used in the necklace in alternating rows. The necklace is worked in 57 rows. Work with an even number of rows + 1 row, with one pearl bead for every 2 rows.

The bracelet is worked in 25 rows making a bracelet of 8 inches in length. You might wish to work with shorter lengths with 7 inches as standard women’s size. To do so, just work with an even number of rows + 1 row, with 2 glass beads and 3 pearl beads (one of each in 3 different sizes) for every 2 rows. Thread all the pearl beads first followed by the glass beads.

The ends of the bracelet are sewn together after crocheting. Alternatively, you can use clasps or use beads or buttons and a crocheted loop as closures for the bracelet.
