I am trying to find a necklace I saw in December last year in Fat Face. Its similar to this one

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leaf-Green-Shell-Glass-Bead-Multi-Strand-Necklace_W0QQitemZ190301125529QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Jewellery_Watches_CostumeJewellery_CA?hash=item190301125529&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

but with silver coloured disc beads and they had two holes in each instead of just the one. I think it was on a black thread and was quite long.

 

Any help would be fantastic!

I missed out on that necklace, bluekarin, but I popped into Bijoux Beads and bought some of these:

and some of their waxy cord, and made my own. It's close enough.

 

Thank you Minnie! I have been searching for beads as well as the necklace, but I couldn't think what they could be called.

We have a bijouxbeads here so I think I shall be paying them a visit tomorrow :D

I emailed Fat Face directly and the girl didn't know which one I was talking about. Cinnamon - don't suppose you have a name or a number on the necklace that I can give them to look it up?

 

I guess it serves me right for not buying it when I saw it :(

 

Also, while I'm here - Minnie, could you take a little photo of the one you made so I can get an idea when I make mine? :pray:

How annoying Karin!

 

I did the same with a bag i saw; prevaricated and resolved to buy it in the sale... you've guessed it, they sold the last one before i got there!

 

It's so gutting isn't it. I hardly ever seen anything I really like, especially in jewellery. I think on the day I saw it was was in boots and bag buying mode (it was my birthday and hubby was buying me either one or both, price depending) and didn't really 'see' it properly. It was only when I got home I thought I'd look in my local branch and they only had a bracelet. :(

 

And I didn't find any boots that fitted my calves (or is it calfs?) or a handbag I liked :x

I haven't, but I think it wouldn't really help me now as they don't have them for sale. I shall just have a go at making my own and keep an eye on ebay - I signed up for the emails like to suggested. Saying that, I have just had an email from ebay about a really nice green one thats just come up for sale. Now thats three to bid on :D

 

edit: sorry forgot to say thank you for looking. I didn't think there would be anything on it, but you never know.
