Larger beads with dramatic colors and shapes create a real WOW factor in this one. A Turkish sterling drum and an ornate Bali Gold egg shaped bead that has another small Bali gold & sterling bead directly across from it make up the metal portions. Two sterling capped turquoise beads, one a melon wedge and the other a carved oriental flank one another as do two blue beads, one a gold embossed lapis round and the other a bi-cone shaped lampwork glass.. The bracelet is finished with a small African Trade blue wedge, a blue/black lampwork spacer, a faceted onyx drum bead and a fancy Bali Sterling toggle. If you love a bold look, this one fills the bill.

Earthy & ethnic, this is a winner for the gal with lots of blacks and neutrals in her wardrobe. A dark brown scarab, followed by an African Trade brass cross and a carved jet bead anchor this one, but the Tibetan capped fluted Naga bead, the large sterling star bead and the faceted earth brown serpentine beads pull it all together. A black onyx toggle adds the dramatic finishing touch.

Turquoise cabs are set in the bar of this heavy Bali sterling toggle that makes the circle of black & turquoise all the more complete. A Tibetan turquoise bead in a sterling wire cage is the focal, but three very different Lampwork glass beads provide the balance of the turquoise color. In black: a carved jet round, a dichroic Lampwork glass wedge, a stack of vulcanite disk African Trade beads, a Tibetan black dotted round and a faceted black onyx. Gotta’ love black & turquoise especially with jeans and a white shirt……very Ralph Loren.

Starting with a large Bali Sterling drum bead and moving on to a sterling hex and three more wedge pieces and numerous sterling caps and spacers, this piece has a nice amount of “shine”. There is a red coral slice, a red dichroic lampwork, a Tibetal capped red coral, another red core lampwork and slice at the end. The black beads are a carved jet oval and a Tibetan black-dotted round along with two African Trade painted bone slices and a tiny Swarovski crystal spacer. All are held together by a twisted Rope sterling toggle.

This one has four fabulous Bali Sterling beads: a puffed oval, a melon center bi-cone, a puffed star set with carnelian on one side and lapis on the other and a shiny and lightly filegreed wedge bead. Starting at the bar, you’ll find a multi-colored lampwork glass, a large Thai capped painted agate, a faceted tiger eye round, a navy etched glass round and an African Trade yellow slice next to a large etched resin red. The toggle is an appropriately large Bali Sterling that works well with the design of the bracelet.

The colors start with an opaque caramel scarab, a Russian porcelain round, an ancient and vitrified melon colored African Trade wedge, a sterling capped Lampwork glass in yellows and caramel, a red horn wedge next to a yellow-green lampwork glass bead. The balance of the bracelet is comprised of a large Turkish sterling wedge, a Thai sterling tri-sided bead, a Bali sterling small wedge, a puffed star bead and finished with an African Trade filigreed brass cross. Love this square Bali Sterling toggle.

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 small lampwork bead and green scarab start the circle which holds two large lampwork glass beads in coordinating shades of green, a large moss agate round and a full size serpentine wedge. Five large and uniquely different Bali & Thai Sterling beads separate the greens and a fancy Bali Sterling Toggle completes the bracelet. This is a go with any shade of green bracelet and also serves as a neutral that will coordinate with lots of colors in your wardrobe.

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 symmetrically designed bracelet. And what cool colors it has……the lampwork glass brick beads and lime slices mimic the colors found 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.
