Shell Cuff

I got this bead a long time ago and found it when I was organizing my beads. It just seemed perfectly suited for a cuff-type bracelet based on it's shape, so I let that be my guide and inspiration. The texture and color of this bead is just amazing. It changes with movement and sunlight.
Additionally, I like things that are elegant and sometimes understated. This isn't understated, but I think the black beads provide the level of simplicity and sophistication I was looking for.

Stunning Citrine

This Citrine is simply stunning.  Breathtaking.  It almost looks like amber, but better.  The Citrine adds a fabulous golden glow to your skin.  Like candle light you can wear around your face.

Little Sunshines Set

I've had these funky beads for a few years before I decided what I wanted to do with them. It seems to be a theme here, but perhaps it's true with the pieces I'm making recently. You see, I've been trying to live to my newly-adopted philosophy of using everything I have, not wasting anything. This started with food, but it seems to be spilling into other aspects of my life and I like it.
Back to the beads though. When I purchased them, I didn't realize all the variation in them: some are smaller and brown and not shiny, some are greener and shiny and some are slightly more brownish pink and shiny.
Once I realized all the variety, the next step was to marry these little cuties with the appropriate metal spacer. This barrel-shaped component worked perfectly in size and shape with the beads.

Rivers of Green - Moss Agate Bracelet and Necklace

This just reminds me of spring so much, and at this point in the winter, I like ANYTHING that reminds me of spring. The moss agate looks like spring suspended in some magical vessel. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with these beauties and I settled on something very simple, uncluttered, and elegant. Hope you enjoy this set as much as I do.
This set includes a bracelet and a necklace, but I can sell them separately.
