English Lavender Garden Bracelet

Can't you just smell the lavender in bloom? I love the lampwork beads in this bracelet. I bought these beads from FerrariOriginalBeads at Etsy. http://ferrarioriginalbeads.etsy.com/. They have gorgeous beads so check them out. I'm sure you'll find something you like. I handwrapped these beads in sterling silver wire and added a couple of fancy sterling beads that I had been saving for that something special. This was that time I think. The square beads are a beautiful amethyst crystal glass that I also have had for some time. I finished the whole piece off with more sterling rings, bali spacers and a very lovely floral sterling silver toggle clasp.

Gray Mist Lampwork Bracelet

I am so pleased with how this bracelet turned out. The focal bead is a One Of A Kind lampwork bead created by Cindy Craig at: Artglass Adornments . The gray part of the bead is kind of transparent with swirls of white and blue colors going through it but the beautiful part of this bead is on the inside: a luminous color of aquamarine/teal blue and it is so sparkly and beautiful to look at. It shows through both sides of the beads. I decided to add some sterling silver bali curved tube beads, rose beads, a couple of twisted rings and some 6mm Swarovski crystal bicones to add to the sparkle and luminosity of the focal. I finished it off with an extension chain and lobster clasp of sterling silver with a small handwrapped charm at the end of the extension chain. I tried to get the camera to pick up the dazzling colors in this bracelet but I think it didn't do it justice. It truly is a beautiful bracelet and it has a mysterious quality to it. If you're interested in purchasing this bracelet, you can do so in my Etsy Shop: Naturally Charming. I have more wonderful lampwork beads by talented artist on Etsy and I will be showing them off as I complete each design so stay tuned for more surprises.

Bracelet "Mystic Dragonfly"

Oooh, I love this one so much. The gorgeous clear quartz crystal nuggets and the sky blue color of larimar gemstones makes this bracelet such a wonderful piece. I like the mixing of chunky with graceful and elegant. Lots of sterling silver square bali spacers, sterling chain, lobster clasp and topped off with a beautiful silver Thai Karen Hill Tribe dragonfly. Then I handwrapped some larimar, sterling silver bead caps and Swarovski crystal bicones into cute little charms. This is truly going to be an eyecatcher. You can find this piece for sale at: Naturally Charming Today was a great day for designing. Some of my new beads arrived so I've got some really great pieces coming up. I found a couple of great thrift store finds today also. Little miniature domino pieces and a scrabble board with all the tiles. I'll be using these things in some of my new designs I'm working on. I love using things that I find on my little hunting trips in my jewelry.
