Three large Bali & Turkish sterling beads along with a couple of nice sterling
wedges add sparkle to this bracelet of deep purples. An amethyst stone-set
sterling wedge serves as a centerpiece for the Lampwork glass beads
and top
to bottom they are: a dark purple boro with rings, a periwinkle shadow bead, a
lavender spacer with a purple crystal, a celestial looking purple wrapped ivory
bead, lavender and periwinkle spacers, a dark purple dotted lentil and finishing
with a gorgeous multi shaded boro. The large sterling toggle has amethyst sets
on the bar.

A simple and delicate look is created with smaller beads in lovely shades of ivory,
white and black. This is a great neutral piece to wear alone or to layer with other
black or all sterling bracelets. Three coordinating lampwork glass beads, a naga
flat disk, a couple of African trade painted bone disks flanked with small
lampwork disks
and of course, some wonderful Bali sterling --- in this case,
five very pretty and unique sterling beads with a sterling toggle.

Could this little bug-eyed guy be any cuter? Since the lampwork glass frog
needed to be the center of attention, for the first time in my long bracelet
making career, I’ve made a symetrically designed bracelet. And what cool
colors it has
the lampwork glass brick beads and lime slices mimick the
colors fround in the frog and they are followed by two nice sized black onyx
barrel beads with great Thai sterling star caps
and then another beige glass
slice. Next to the frog are two triangle sterling beads and at the end are two
unique “beady” sterling ovals that match perfectly with the sterling toggle.
When has fun ever looked this sophisticated?

Gotta” love these colors and the impact they make. Black onyx barrel
and faceted wedge beads set the background for this design along with the toggle
that is onyx-set. A “beaded bead” in lime, green and a touch of dark red sets
the palate which is carried out via a large melon cut and sterling capped
serpentine bead, a polymer bi-cane bead and two sets of lampwork glass disks.
Three very pretty Bali sterling beads and a large spacer bead complete the
balance of the bracelet. See coordinating earrings in that area of the site.

A burst of Fall colors in slightly oversized beads begins with a lampwork glass
heart in green & burgundy followed by a green African “King” bead, an agate & horn
disk, a matt finish amber nugget, a green scarab, a large faceted red aventurine
wedge and a green African trade disk. Along with the interspersed sterling caps and
spacers, a fancy Turkish sterling bead and another large Bali sterling bead provide
pop to the beautiful colors and all is held together with an oversized sterling toggle.

A true favorite of mine, the olive colors in this piece will work with almost
anything and everything and you’ll love them forever. The circle starts with
a barrel shaped lemon turquoise with a large Thai sterling cap; there are 3
really cool Bali sterling beads and a beautiful braided sterling toggle. An
oval Lampwork glass bead in olives is followed by a wedge one in ivory and
then a pretty lampwork glass in frosty olive with ivory dots. There is a carved
serpentine round, a double fish carved new jade followed by a faceted wedge of
ocean jasper and the circle ends with a tiny carved serpentine bee.

Happy and perky, this bracelet has an assortment of pink and black lampwork glass
beads in it’s design to include a beautiful pink-lined shell bead in the lower left
quadrant. Six shiny Bali sterling beads are interspersed around the circle along
with a carved and filigreed black onyx bead and a Swarovski jet crystal. A very
feminine twisted vine sterling toggle holds it all together. As they say, you too
can be “pretty in pink”.

Beautiful and tranquil, this luscious color combination will become a wardrobe favorite.
A gorgeous turquoise inlaid toggle is countered by a large turquoise wedge bead.
The two aqua and blue boro lampwork glass beads and 3 slices bring it all to life.

One of those difficult finds, this off-white Naga bead (conch shell) bracelet

will stack beautifully with other bracelets from your collection, especially

cut & sterling capped, a carved cone bead and a Naga set hair bead which is
bezeled in sterling and has an engraved sterling back side. There is also a
bone and a Nage disk along with sterling beads in wedge, drum and bicone shapes.

Four large Bali Gold (18K gold plated Bali sterling) beads and one cone next
to the coordinating toggle contrast beautifully with the two lime green
dichroic beads and the three Lampwork glass beads
and there‘s great
detail in the green stripe African Trade bead wedged next to a Mykonos
gold pottery bead. A great possibility for those who prefer gold to silver.
