the bead board vs the necklace 🩶 I imagine this is perfect for a 90s heartthrob type… #freshwaterpearls #angelcore #fairycore
A grey felted board with compartments holding various glass beads, pearls, and findings for making jewelry. It is cluttered a messy. The board has channels for designing necklaces, and one channel has a selection of silver and shiny beads along it, ready to be strung. A white hand holds a selection of silver-toned beads in the left corner. A finished necklace featuring the same beads as the bead board image, but strung. Heart-shaped, flower-shaped, and round glass beads are accompanied by silvery pearls and small prismatic crystals.
