Magical Mauve

Beautiful deep mauve and mink coloured glass pearls and crystals were used to make this substantial set - and we liked it so much, we decided to make another set in gold, black and white...

Each piece makes a bold and beautiful statement... gorgeous!

Purple Fantasy

Something a little different for this set... a choker instead of a necklace or pendant. We decided on using a piece of soft ribbon as a tie - so much more versatile... and so pretty too!

Ocean Flower

Every now and then, we come across beads so beautiful that we hardly want to use them and just keep them in a box and look at them instead :) Of course, we wouldn't want to keep them to ourselves really, and use them to make beautiful jewellery like this set...

Cute Cuffs!

Every now and then, we come across a design that we ("S"!) just fall in love with... so much that we (not really "we"... just "S"!) choose to make a lot of the same design in differing colours.

That's what happened here... though we have to say that these bracelets are just so beautiful... we would wear them all the time!

We made some for Autumn (note that the purple design is slightly different, the pattern being a chevron rather than just the diagonal of the others)...

A couple for Christmas...

And then one that was to see if we could use more beads, and bigger beads in a similar design - and this one looks amazing when worn!...

You may be seeing more of these... we're thinking, crystals maybe? and we have some gorgeous mini-pearls in coffee and creams that would look stunning too!

Purple!!

This bracelet reminds me of a popular brand of chocolate - all decadent in purple and gold. The clasp is over an inch long, and shaped like a vine leaf - and matches the style of the bracelet beautifully. The puple AB rondelles are just gorgeous! In fact, they needed no other embellishment at all to show them off.

I think purple is a great choice for an Autumn colour :)

Triangular Fun

Just a little experiment here making the triangles... but if you wear this bracelet with the chains and charms dangling at the side of the wrist, it's utterly eye-catching and beautiful!

The triangles are a variation on a design by "Beading4Perfectionists" - search for her on You Tube.

Red & Blue

"L" and her RAW "hugs'n'kisses" bracelets... she just loves making them! She chose deep christmas reds, and also icy winter blues for these designs...

Rows Of Rondelles...

"L" and I came across some beautiful rondelle crystals, and just had to snap them up and buy some to make trinkets. "L" made some "hugs'n'kisses" bracelets... but all the items we made were gorgeous, as the crystals were such a lovely quality.

I've only a close-up of these bracelets, as my camera doesn't like glitz and glamour in focus :)

Rose Spritzer

We so wish the camera could have picked up the delicate pink hues of this bracelet - the photographs do it little justice.

This piece is a flat-spiral design with swarovski crystals and bicones, with silver-lined seedbeads... lovely for a prom night outfit!

Sweet Silver Lilacs

A simple little bracelet inspired by a D.Roberti design:

Tuts Royal Blue

 "S" made this simple lace necklace with crystal hilights... and the colours just reminded her of Tutankhamen's mask...

The pattern may have been inspired by a Sandra D.Halpenny design.

Wide-Girl Glitz

Back in the 80's, if a guy had a car and a flick-hair do, loafers and a jacket worn with jeans... well, he'd be called a 'wide boy'. A little bit racy, a little bit naughty... a little bit wild. It desgribed out new design of bracelet perfectly... only they were all a bit girlie, and a lot glitzy!

So we called them "Wide-Girl Glitz"!

Crystal Cuff

These were so much fun to make - of course "S" had the green colours, and "L" chose the blue :)

We always think how funny it is how a different bead - even if it's supposed to be the same size - will end up making a bracelet that's longer or shorter than when using another bead.

Something to ponder...

Check Out Those Flowers!

Another creation that "S" wants to keep for herself - and she's already been told "NO!"

Gorgeous monochromatic crystals, woven into flower patterns makes this whole set so pretty and wearable.

Off now to hide this from "S" before she tries to wear it and pretend it's hers!

 

And, here's some more we created:

Amber Smoke Ring

"S" has decided that this is such a terrible looking ring, that she'll have to keep it for herself as nobody else would want to buy it. Really?!

The ring is elasticated at the back, and is such a sparkling piece, that it's sure to be sold soon!

Bead Happy!

Modern Millie

"S" seems to have lost her marbles... and found pearls instead! She's ordering in loads of pearls and seed beads in pink, black and white... so "L" has been slaving away trying to create some new collections with a fun, modern feel.

Welcome to the "Modern Millie" collection...

Bead Happy!

Crusade

"L" has gone MAD... making RAW bracelets with any crystals, gems, pearls and beads she can get her hands on... it's becoming quite a crusade :)

Her latest...

a gorgeous crystal bracelet with hints of gold...

With earrings to match!

 

Bead Happy!

Anyone For Tennis?

Tennis bracelets... so pretty, elegant - and easy to wear!

We made these all slightly different - in colours, crystal choices, and finishing... and they are our new favourite!

Duchess

"Ooh...  wearing this I'd feel as if I should go and have tea with the Duchess" said "S". Duchess? "What Duchess?" asked "L"... but  there was no reply as "S" had the idea that the pretty mauve-y/pink and gold bracelet needed extras - like earrings and a necklace - and off she went into her own little world of jewellery design! Well, at least her ramblings gave us a name for the set...

The Duchess Set!

Bead Happy!
