The sparkling, crystal clear glass stones shown here in this DIY necklace are just so appropriate for the celebration of a new year!

These stones aren’t large – the diamond shape is 10mm x 10mm – that’s about 3/8″. The crystal octagon is 18mm x 13mm, or approximately 3/4″ x 1/2″. But they’re beautifully faceted, and if there’s any light in the room, these will sparkle!
Even if the light is candlelight on New Year’s Eve! Or any day of 2026 when you want to add a bit of fun, and sparkle, and maybe celebration. Let’s have a great New Year!
P.S. And yes, you’ve thought of this too – this necklace would be fabulous for a bride!
