Have you ever held a glass bead up to the light and admired the glow, and wished it could be lit up like that while you wore it?
I have. Which is why I was so excited when I came across a display of luminous jewelry powered by nature at a recent bead show. The name of the company that makes it is AnglerFish (SO clever!) and they recently sent me their starter kit to try out.
See everything that’s in the kit, and details on how it all works in my Friday Findings video from last week:
How to Make Luminous Beads & Jewelry-Light Up LED Necklaces
Today’s video shows how to plan and design a necklace around a focal that looks lovely when lit from within. You can also wear the jewelry unlit, just leave off the powered clasp.
Either way, this creative product adds a whole new element to our jewelry designs!

-
- AnglerFish LED jewelry starter kit
- 14mm glass focal bead

Watch the Glowfish Necklace-How To Make Luminous Light-Up Beaded Jewelry Tutorial video at Youtube.
I just found your tutorials yesterday and I’m drawn to the luminous light up jewelry. Did you make a video for the pendant style necklace? I really like your style of jewelry and your tutorials.
Hi Janet,
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the nice comment! I’m so glad you enjoy my tutorials. 🙂
No, I never did get around to making the pendant video for the Glowfish jewelry. As cool as *I* found the concept, there didn’t seem to be much interest among my viewers. I’m guessing probably because of the cost of the product. :-/
It IS still on my list of possible videos to make someday… just Way down near the bottom, lol.
Happy creating!
