When I first saw the elliptical shell beads at HM Ben Franklin Crafts, I knew that they would be perfect for my annual autumn necklace. The cut shell beads have a nice rainbow iridescence. I'm not sure exactly why I feel the need to make an autumn necklace every year but perhaps it's because we don't have a true fall season....so I have to wear it...LOL! Anyway, I also wanted this necklace
