Carved Medallions

I think that medallions are a marvelous way to accent a piece of jewelry.  It draws your eye in and gives some pop without the bling!  Now bling is not a bad thing, but some ladies are not as comfortable with it as others, or they may just not to always wear it. 

This necklace pops out because of the medallion.  You got to love the birds that are carved into the piece.  All the different blue toned gemstones and silver bring this piece together and will be worn & treasured for a long time to come. 

Sweet & Simple

Some days bigger is better, then other just a little something works best.  I really like these amber toned glass earrings for just that reason.  They are just simple, and sweet, great for a day you need just a small touch of sparkle!

Got the Blues?

These little beauties just made a bad day great!  Here outside of Atlanta it is a cold, rainy, Monday!  Had a few - well really more than a few things go wrong today.  Just wanted to get back in bed & start over - but couldn't.  \

Then low & behold - these little gems just stuck their little faceted selves into my eyesite.  I knew immediately what to do!  What do you think?  They just chased the blues away! 

Always in Style

Fashion is always changing! Thank goodness - right!  Who would like to be stuck in the 80's time warp?  One thing is for sure diamonds & pearl are timeless.  They will always be in!  Since I do not work with diamonds - yet - this little bracelet in pearls will do just fine!  I love the black leather band that is adjustable for a fit of lose or snug, it  also makes the pearls just pop right out!

Recycled Glass

I think it is wonderful that glass is being recycled.  It is used for counter tops, tiles, and even landscaping rocks.  My favorite though is recycled glass beads.  Take a look ta this rocking red recycled glass bracelet.

Ceramic Beads

When I first started beading I started with glass beads.  It is strange, but I could not make anything that was remotely pretty.  Then I found stones, pearls, crystals, and silver.  I could not stop.  I would bead all night long, until the we hours of the morning.  I was in heaven on earth. 

Just recently I have discovered ceramic beads and a recycled glass.  They have so much character & fun to play & bead with.  What are your thoughts?

Purely Pink

It is so gloomy here today outside Atlanta.  Not cold, just yucky, foggy, & gross.  This little pink number though, is just the opposite.  The rose quartz is yummy & the crystals just make it shine.
