Collections: Rainbows

Rainbow Candy Chain Necklace by The Sage's Cupboard

No matter how old we get, there’s just no resisting a rainbow. There’s something about a perfectly arranged set of colors that inspires happiness, calmness or even joy.

For today’s necklace, I decided to combine all of my colored shell coin beads to make a candy-like rainbow chain. I subbed in some cat’s eyes for yellow, and used white seed beads to make little daisy chain clouds between each set of colored beads. The connections are done with abalone blue lined crystal seed beads - purple looked just a little too over-the top.

And, for even more cheery color, I created this fun collection of ArtFire picks:
