How about making a special necklace for a good friend instead of buying one from the cheap lightweight shiny mass-produced stuff available in the mega stores.

Here is an easy recipe for a pandora bead necklace that anyone can make up from a snake chain and a collection of beads and little bells.

Pandora Style Necklace

I have made this one from pale green and red glass pandora stylebeads mixed in with some diamante spacers and simple bells. The snake chain necklace is 2.1 mm thick and closes with a lobster clasp.
