A unique color combination that is a first for me, but oh how cool is
this? Sitting across from one another are two lampwork glass beads in
shades of turquoise (that resembles natural turquoise) with mottled brown
splotches and there is a coordinating bi-cone bead with swirls of the same
colors. A brown blown glass oval sits next to a couple of great lampwork
glass spacers and at the finishing end of the piece is a sterling filigree
bead with a turquoise center which is flanked by two more great lampwork
glass spacers. A number of Bali sterling caps, spacers and beads complete
the bracelet along with a woven rope sterling toggle.

Going around the circle, we start with a melon cut wooden bead, a couple
of colorful lampwork glass spacers, an excellent King bead (African Trade)
andtwo Bali Sterling wedge beads flanking a multi colored lampwork glass
lentil. From there, we have a sterling encased Tibetan carnelian, a painted
bone and a rustic glass (Trade beads), a amber set sterling wedge and then,
voila’, there sits a little turtle atop a black lampwork glass round. A
shiny sterling toggle and tear drop bead finish the piece. Great colors,
great pieces and perfect for Fall.

A beaded bead in shades of purple sits opposite a lampwork glass barrel
bead with the same shades, four very pretty Bali sterling beads are spaced
throughout and lend to the elegance of this bracelet. Additionally, there
is an oval melon lampwork bead in lavender and purple window pane design,
some unique purple and black spacers and an adorable black faux rhinestone
bead at the finish.

So elegant, so rich, so go with so many things. There are three
coordinating lampwork glass beads in black with brown/tan dots that set the
tone, but the little heart shaped black & ivory lampwork bead that sits next
to the fancy Bali Sterling toggle is a perfect foil for the others. A
faceted black onyx and a beautifully aged Naga bead complete the piece along
with four gorgeous Bali sterling beads.

Three custom-made lime & black lampwork glass beads set the striking tone to this
bracelet and three unusual sterling beads bring the bling. In addition there is a
sterling capped faceted black onyx, a polished horn disk with a black & white trade
bead nestled up to it and a black glass set Tibetan round. The piece is held together
with a black onyx inlaid Sterling toggle. Perfect to mix with all your summer brights,
but also makes a black outfit pop.
