What makes this necklace special? Its irregularly shaped freshwater beads in a lovely shade of anise green—somewhere between lime green and chartreuse. Each bead has its own unique shape and sheen, which gives the piece its character. If you prefer other colors, explore our selection of freshwater beads to create your own combination.
And this green wasn’t chosen at random! Chartreuse is one of the trending colors for fall-winter 2026–2027. A vibrant shade that pairs here with gold and pink to create a unique contrast.

As for the charms, there are several small patterns: hearts, a gold cross, a pink flower, and sparkling details. When worn together, they give the necklace its charm-style look, while still letting the green beads shine through. Of course, you can personalize it in endless ways by replacing certain charms with your favorite symbols: initials, flowers, hearts, stars, or even birthstones. Choose from our wide selection of stainless steel charms to create a necklace that reflects your personality.
You can also adapt this design by choosing white beads for a softer look, pink beads for a colorful piece, or by reducing the number of charms for a more understated result. It’s up to you to create your favorite combination!

Start by cutting about 50 cm of wire. Adjust this length based on your neck size and the look you want.
Slide a crimp bead onto the wire, then thread the wire through a wire cap. Next, thread the wire back through the crimp bead to form a loop.
Crimp the bead using crimping pliers or flat-nose pliers. For a neat finish, add a crimp cap to hide the crimp bead.

For this necklace, we used 42 anise green freshwater beads, or 7 packets. You can adjust this amount based on the length of your necklace and the look you’re going for.
Start by stringing 18 anise green freshwater beads.
To make assembly easier, we recommend adding the charms directly as you string the freshwater beads.
Next, add the charms.
Here is the order we chose for arranging the charms on the necklace: the birthstone charm (ACX-033) / 1 freshwater bead / the heart charm with a bow pattern (INO-316) / 1 freshwater bead / the heart charm (INI-262) / 1 freshwater bead / the cross pendant (SST-766), the centerpiece of the necklace / 1 freshwater bead / the flower charm (INO-491) / 1 freshwater bead / the cross charm (STL-620) / 1 freshwater bead / the heart charm (STL-373).
Finish by stringing 18 additional anise green freshwater beads.
To finish your necklace, repeat the steps from Step 1 to secure the other end of the cable wire. Using open jump rings, attach the extension chain to one end and the Lobster Clasp to the other.
And there you have it—your anise green bead necklace with gold charms is finished!
