Warm fall colors are featured in this chunky beaded necklace. It is reminiscent of leaves in their full autumn splendor: Warm reds, bold oranges and yellows, rich golds and soothing greens. This lovely necklace would be a great accent for your fall wardrobe.

All the beads in this chunky beaded necklace are handcrafted by me, from polymer clay. And no two beads are exactly alike! I blended various polymer clay colors to create the warm autumn hues. Some of the beads are smooth with a marble like affect in various fall colors. These were hand sanded and hand buffed with a soft cloth for a satin finish.

For contrast, textured beads in deep reds, yellows and a touch of green are included as well. A thin glaze of acrylic paint is for added patina and to highlight the textures.

Each large chunky bead is separated with an orange tube bead and two purple spacer beads. These beads are highlighted with mica powders to give them a rich warm glow.


A green disk with a small red disk finishes one end of the necklace. A leather loop on the other end creates the necklace clasp. The necklace is strung on a black leather cord and measures about 19 inches.

I love the colors of autumn. It is such a joy to watch the leaves in my garden change from green to the reds, oranges and golds of autumn. I enjoy the respite from the hot summer days; and relish the cooler days, and crisp mornings with a nip of frost.
