I Can't Seem to Stop Creating

It's a good problem to have I guess....not being able to stop creating new pieces.  That's what happens when you have been sent a wonderful box of beads and findings.

So far I have made three necklaces and two pairs of earrings.  One necklace and one pair of earrings were part of my first project and can be seen by clicking here.


FREEDOM

The first necklace is made of 6mm Crystazzi Matte Rose Crystal Pearls mixed with 4mm Crystazzi pearls in Calm Desert.  The addition of three Jewelry Basics dyed turquoise Howlite stones, antiqued silver toned bead caps and spacer beads, and metallic bronze textured glass pearls breaks up the sandy coloring of this necklace giving it a little spark.  Necklace is strung on 7-strand silver nylon coated steel flexible beading wire and crimped with Elegance Metals Platinum Plated Copper crimp beads  The focal point of this piece is attached to an Elegance Metal Platinum Plated Copper toggle clasp and is from the Jewelry Basics line as well.  It is a filigree metal dove with slight antiquing that has a chain dangle and several crystals in matching tones to the crystals in the necklace.  The chain has has a little metal tag with the word "Freedom" stamped on it.  This necklace is available in my Etsy shop.  Click HERE to see the pricing and purchasing information.



 CANCUN SUNSET





These earrings feature Jewelry Basics findings in an antique gold or bronze color.  The beads are also Jewelry Basics.  The teal colored drops are acrylic beads and the orange and tangerine colored beads are glass.  The bead caps in these are Blue Moon Beads brand from their now retired Global Nomad Collection.  These earrings are part of a set that matches and is available only with the necklace below.


This lovely necklace matches the earrings above.  It features the same lovely tangerine and orange glass beads that have been strung on 7 strand gold nylon steel coated beading wire.  The teal briolettes have been strung monofilament beading cord .  The briolettes are crimped on sets of three.  The monofilament cord makes for an illusion effect of the drops floating around the necklace.  All strands run through Blue Moon Beads antiqued gold/bronze bead caps from their now retired Global Nomad Collection. The strands are attached to an 18 gauge bronze coated copper wire that is wrapped at the top of the cones and then attached to a lovely Jewelry Basics antiqued gold link chain and finished off with a lobster claw clasp. This listing is also available in my shop.  Please click HERE to view pricing and purchasing info.
