Beaded Charm

This handcrafted beaded star charm is created using peyote stitch with 11/0 Czech seed beads in deep blue, ocean blue, and gold. The layered color arrangement forms a dimensional four-point star with striking contrast and a subtle shimmer. A small gold beaded loop makes it easy to use as a pendant, zipper pull, bag charm, ornament, or keychain accent.

The design combines rich sapphire blue tones with lighter ocean blue highlights, creating a geometric star pattern that draws the eye toward the gold center. The alternating color sections add depth and movement, while the peyote stitch structure gives the charm a sturdy yet lightweight feel.
