I had a lot of fun brain storming on what to design with the 2 ceramic anchor charms
created by Diana P. of Suburban Girl Studio. Of course having 2 charms and having 2 ears,
should I make a pair of earrings? Nooooo.....let's get creative with the challenge. So I
started digging though my sea life themed bead drawer and I happened to have 2 more sets
of Diana's charms. A pair of sail boats and a pair of scallop shells. I designed a few
charms of my own to coordinate with the colors of Diana's. I made a ceramic nautilus
shell, octopus, crab and a seahorse. This fun sea life charm bracelet started coming to life!

I cut 7" of open link antique copper chain and attached a toggle clasp to each end. I
wanted plenty of bling, so I chose matching antique copper crystals and 4mm round spacer
balls. I spaced the charm components out every 3 links and made smaller dangles on
headpins to fill in the open links. I love my new bracelet and I hope you do, too!
