This is probably one project that I have done so many pieces. My latest is using Coral Beads with Czech. Picasso Turquoise seed beads.
The Coral beads used in this project are not the Red Meditarranean Corals that have now become endangered species (the Coral Reefs off Italian Coast have now been permanently closed). These corals are Bamboo Corals which are the highest quality dyed corals (the natural colour is generally grey). The dyed beads have a tinge of orange in the redness.
The netted bracelet is stitched with Picasso (appearance of a raku finish) turquoise and opaque seafoam seed beads. It is embellished with the Corals all around and completed with a peyote-stitch clasp.I have made a bracelet here to show the result of the project but the project kit sold is for a complete necklace. It is probably hard to imagine without seeing the actual piece but I would pair the necklace with a white blouse for a smart casual look. It is for anyone who loves the turquoise/coral combination!
For this project, I have also done something different. I used the 4lb test Fireline thread (double threads) instead of the usual 6lb test because the Czech seed beads have smaller bead holes. The corals are stitched onto the bracelet with Nymo Size D Red as I do not like the smoky grey thread from Fireline to show on the piece.
Who is this kit for?
This kit is for students who have already mastered the Pearly Netted Bracelet or Necklace. It will not include the manual unless you do not have the netted necklace manual.

The coral beads are only sufficient to make a necklace unlike the other gemstone kits. However, you would probably have a small number remaining after completing the project, depending on how your construct your necklace. You can mix them with other beads to make a bracelet as the seed beads quantities should be sufficient.The coral beads will be sold in the quantities as stated above. You can, however, change the seed beads if you do not like turquosie. For example, pair the coral beads with bright silver/gold seed beads.
