As summer draws to a close and the gloomy rain of fall sets in, I really wanted to take a little piece of summer along with me to remind me of warmer days. Over the years, I have amassed a large collection of shells and sea glass, mostly from vacations to Hawaii and other beautiful beaches with my family.My mom graciously drilled holes in a select few sea glass and shells, making them perfect for pendant necklaces and earrings. Today, I opted to make a simple pendant necklace. Martha's sea glass necklace was perfect, simple and adorable.
I decided to do a shell-sea glass combo. I ordered a roll of gold chain and used gold wire to affix the combination to the chain in the form of a necklace. I think this works well! It'll be perfect for the minute the first hint of wintry mix sets in.

Pendant necklaces are simple to produce -- knot a silk cord around a single shard, and glue to secure -- and offer an easy way to show off unusual finds, such as amethyst, yellow, and cornflower-blue glass.
