About the Shell Range These beautiful shell beads seem to epitomise simplicity, & yet each natural bead has an iridescent surface which adds layers of complexity. The beads are double-sided; one side has a darker mysterious air while the other side has a pearlescent lighter sheen, & this aspect elevates the design to a more sophisticated & intriguing level. Dainty & shimmering, this range will suit any kind of outfit. Beads used: Shell beads. About this Necklace Carrie considers the necklace to be the flagship piece of each of her sets, & it's easy to see why. This necklace is approx 17" (43cm) long & fastens with a silver-plated spring clasp, but can be extended by a further 5cm thanks to an attached 2'' silver-plated Carrie Elspeth extension chain. Carrie Says: "I love using natural beads, & these shells have a beautiful iridescent sheen that is incredibly pretty. The heart shape is a real favourite of mine, & when the light catches it all sorts of pearlescent colours emerge."
