Three ornate Bali sterling beads anchor this piece, but the yellow jade bear
(or is it a sloth?) is the piece that jumps out. He is hand carved and goes
beautifully with the melon carved Tibetan copal amber bead on the opposite side.
Two borosilicate lampwork glass beads, one in yellow with blue and the other a
snake skin look aqua & brown sit across from a raku clay iridescent face bead.
The bear sits atop a brass bead and an amber nugget and the bracelet is finished
with a woven rope sterling toggle. This is a unique combination of colors that
can rarely be found
and I have a wonderful necklace in the
same colors (please inquire)

a fun lampwork on the nose of a green scarab, a golden horn disk next to a multi-color
Italian millifiori (African Trade) bead, a small turquoise nugget, a lampwork glass
“eye” bead and an African Trade carnelian slice. The bracelet is finished with a

Warm shades of brick brown and amber, offset by ivory, create a beautiful
look that can be warn with all your blacks, browns and neutrals. Two coordinated
brown & amber lampwork glass beads set the tone for this piece, but the carved
bone rabbit steals the scene (he even has toes!). An egg, a drum and a hex
sterling bead as well as a dotted sterling slice separate the wonderful colors
in the other beads……a faceted round Botswana agate, a caramel agate wedge and the
inlaid bone slice. A hand print is seen in the azure and brown raku bead and the
bracelet ends with a fancy Bali sterling toggle.

A green cloisonné frog tops out the circle which has five artist-made and color coordinated
lime & dark aqua lampwork glass beads. It also includes five Bali Sterling beads in a variety
of shapes along with a few caps and spacers, a Swarovski crystal and finally, a marine blue dichroic
glass bead leads into the fancy Turkish Sterling toggle.

A bold sterling toggle, attached to a cone bead starts the round followed by a
tiny pink lampwork glass bead and a Swarovski crystal-set black onyx. A sterling
puff bead separates two pink & black lampwork glass beads, one an enclosed flower
design ad the other a dotted-edge rectangle. Following a sterling wedge, the
bracelet is completed with a carved black amber, a pink cone lampwork glass, an
African Trade bone roundel and finally, sterling filigree and drum beads enclose
a black & pink lampwork glass
light hearted,
as well as fun & fancy.

Ivory, gold and a touch of soft yellow produce a subtle, but stunning look
that can be worn year round. Following the Bali Gold toggle, there is
a ‘gold shadow’ Swarovski faceted crystal --- and another one is half way
around the circle. There are five large Bali gold beads, a number of pretty
gold spacers & caps as well as a small cone ending the strand. Finishing the
design are two artist-made yellow flower lampwork glass beads and, the prize
of the piece, a large and very old Tibetan Naga bead.

Three large Bali & Turkish Sterling beads, as well as a beautiful dotted wedge and
numerous Sterling spacers and caps are the base of this design. Starting at the top,
we see a mosaic-shell round, a lampwork glass bi-cone, a flattened black & silver
dichroic shadow bead, a flame patterned black/white lampwork wedge, a leaf veined
polymer clay, a carved black amber round and a perfect little dotted lampwork glass
bead to taper the end of the strand.

Both matt-finished, and setting the style of this bracelet, there is an
oval lapis bead and an ancient looking round carved lapis bead. The three
matt finished blue and white lampwork glass beads were custom designed to
create this piece (& I have coordinating earrings). The balance of the
bracelet is comprised of 3 ornate Bali sterling beads, a simple sterling
wedge next to a white agate slice and a unique blue resin bead encased by
sterling filigree. A rope edged Bali sterling toggle completes the bracelet.

From the bar, this bracelet starts with a bumpy lampwork glass bead, a
filigreed sterling wedge, a yellow flower filled lampwork glass with large
sterling flower caps and an old Tibetan Naga bead. From there we find a bronze
filigreed cross African Trade bead nestled against a matt-finish yellow dotted
lampwork glass bead, a puffed sterling wedge and an agate slice. A large caramel
brown scarab, a capped and carved serpentine barrel and an ornate Bali sterling
bead complete the strand which is finished with a heavy sterling toggle set
with citrine cabochons.

A wardrobe winner all year long, this bracelet starts with a sterling barrel
and a garnet-set bead separated by a pair of African Trade and red disks, followed

a lampwork glass bead and a red crystal spacer. Three more lampwork beads

beautifully shaped red-black-white, a contorted roundel and a dotted spacer
and finally,
a Swarovski jet crystal and a unique sterling-encased red bead. The Bali sterling
toggle is an oval design.

A fancy Bali sterling toggle holds a bevy of interesting beads. The most unique
of which is the lime colored Italian millifiori bead which is from the African
Trade and in excellent condition. I‘ve capped it with ornate sterling caps and
set it next to a sterling wedge bead adorned with amethyst cabochons. There are
three borosilicate lampwork glass beads, two unusual polymer clay beads, four Bali/Turkish
sterling beads and a number of spacers
and one Australian serpentine (lime) bead.
