Orange Bling Bracelets continued...

Adding to the Long Horn theme, I wanted to make a bracelet that made a bolder statement and effect. So this time I thought I'd use larger orange chinese crystal cubes and faceted round clear crystals, and then connected them in the middle with a silver oval puffed metal bead with a neat filigree design for more drama. On the ends are a metal filigreed teardrop toggle clasp to complete the look. The cute pair of matching earrings also continues with the Long Horn orange, white, clear theme, with a single orange cube and a metallic silver bicone crystal dangling on the bottom. Any Horns fan, or jewelry lover, could wear this bracelet with pride.
The bracelet measures 7.3" in length. The earrings are 1.75". Please email me if you need a different size made. More pics are in the $20 bin. To purchase this item, scroll below and select the correct bracelet option in the drop down box and hit the Add to Cart button.

Long Horn Fans!

I've heard that there might be some Long Horn fans that could use some representin'... Since I'm a native Texan, I was happy to oblige. So I started with these lovely rich orange crystal bicones, gave them some extra bling by surrounding them with silver and clear crystals, and a contrasting white shell alternate to keep with the Long Horn theme. I completed the look with a Heart toggle clasp. I noticed the bar part of the clasp is slightly bent looking, and could almost resemble a 'horn' shape - I thought this was a nice touch. :)  I think this cute bracelet would make a pretty nice showing and compliment any Long Horn themed clothing or jewelry. I have another one in the works so be on the lookout. I also know there are a few Gator fans that would probably like to see some representation, that'll be coming up as well. That's all for me for now.

Large Crystal Kumihimo Bracelet

I did this Kumihimo using larger crystals in black and white. Regular size crystals are 2x4", this one uses 4x6". It measures 8" long but I can make different sizes, colors, and clasps as requested. Some colors will need to be special ordered.  You can really see the difference in crystal size, and it does wear and feel a little 'chunkier' on the wrist because of this. I used an etched looking magnetic foldover square clasp. It is also located in the $20 and Up bin for $45.



This pic shows the difference in size between the Large Crystal Kumi and the Regular size Kumi.






Red, White and Blue Kumihomo bracelet

Aunt April was also nice enough to let me take a quick snapshot of the red, white and blue Kumihimo bracelet she bought. It also has gold crystal accents with a brass magnetic bullet clasp which makes it real easy to put on. Love how the matching shirt gets extra bling with the bracelet.

Kumihimo Bracelet in Black/Silver/White Swirl

Here's another picture taken outside. The crystals are like little suncatchers! So pretty and the black and white colors are so dramatic. This black and white bracelet is great because it can be worn with anything you put on that day.




Got Bling!

So it was a long and hard day at work for Aunt April.  But...  after work she was able to swing by to pickup her Kumihimo bracelet and at least get her Bling on! Here are a few pics of her wearing her new black/silver/white Kumihimo bracelet with magnetic clasp. Isn't it Fabulous!?

Black Wood Pendant Necklace

Well here's the first of a few necklaces I made with my new supplies from Deland Bead Store. This is a long necklace, 60" and was a little difficult to display so I had this nice little guy help hold it for me :) . Black Wood Pendant Necklace has a unique looking black wooden circle and rectangle pendants, the rectangle having a cool lighter colored wood so that it appears 'framed' by the black wood. Pendants are accompanied by coordinating glass, wooden and foil beads. This necklace is quite versatile at 60" long and can be wrapped around 2-3 times for a great layered effect. Pic is showing it wrapped twice. Set includes matching earrings. More pics are in the $20 and up Bin but Necklace and earrings can be purchased on this page by clicking the Add to Cart button below.  Necklace is $30, with matching earrings the set would be $35. Please indicate if you would like just the necklace or the set when purchasing. I really enjoyed and had fun creating this one, and hope you enjoy it!
