This blue coastal beaded necklace was inspired by those soft light blue skies you get on calm coastal mornings before the beach fills up for the day.

I used tiny blue seed beads with warm metallic bronze accents and a smooth pale blue focal bead that reminds me of looking out towards the ocean and sky along the NSW coast.

This piece took quite a while to make because of the fine beadwork, but I wanted it to feel simple, relaxed and easy to wear with everyday outfits.

Handmade by me in small batches here in Australia, this necklace has a natural coastal boho feel without being over the top.
