Champagne

As I'm currently trying to bring some kind of order into my jewelry collection, I happen to find lots of unexpected stuff in my stash. Wristbands and necklaces I once created only to put them in a box and forget about them. 
Among others, I discovered a couple of pieces made with glass wax beads in different shades of champagne. However, the style I created many years ago didn't suit me anymore, and to reduce the amount of un-wearable items, I've taken them apart to line the beads up in a more suitable way.

The first necklace I made is a rather small one, and I meant it for my friend's little princess. However, I added an extension on the clasp which makes it possible to adapt its circumference as the girl grows up. Between each pair of champagne coloured beads, I placed a tiny rocailles bead, and for the centerpiece, I've chosen a champagne Swarovski heart. 

And since little girls can never get enough of hearts, one can be found on the extension as well.

Pleased with how the first one turned out, I made another necklace straight away. This time, I made it a little longer and will probably keep it for myself.

As I still had some beads left, I decided to make another long necklace for my sister's upcoming birthday...

... as well as a wristband which has no owner yet, but will most likely go with the birthday necklace. And with the last leftover beads are still waiting on my table, I might as well create a matching pair of earrings.
And maybe, before September madness begins, I'll be able to clean up my room, too. And get through the rest of my crafting stash. And rearrange the furniture. And have a look at my wardrobe. And get rid of a couple more things. 
Because sometimes one feels the urgent need for change.
