Earth and Sky Lampwork Dangle Earrings

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 11:51:43 -0500

$16.00
A pair of 'sugared' granny-smith apple green handmade lampwork glass beads set the stage for this fun pair of earrings. (The 'sugar' effect is done by adding finely-ground clear glass to the surface and partially melting it in, leaving a textured, but not sharp, surface.)

Hanging below the lampwork bead is a section of silver-plated curb chain. Glass cube beads in greens, blues and amber trail down the chain, giving the earthy feel to the color scheme.

The earrings measure 2.25" overall, from the point that the silver-plated earwires will sit in the ear. The lampwork beads measure about 7/16" wide.

If you would like the earwires changed to Sterling Silver, I can do that prior to shipping for an added $1.00 charge for the materials. Just add the request in the Notes to Seller at checkout. :)

I can make a set of earrings to coordinate, if you'd like. Just convo me about it and I'll make a reserved listing for you.

An enduring symbol in a handmade lampwork glass bead (by artist Laurie Gellar) is the focal point for this classic black and white bracelet design.

I have woven black and white seed beads into twisted rope tubes and accented them with faceted Czech glass beads and silver plated bead caps and spacers. A silver plated lobster claw clasp holds it all together on a length of 49-strand beading cable for maximum strength.

The bracelet fits my 6 3/4 wrist perfectly. If the wrist of the intended wearer is larger, I can size up the bracelet to suit. (Please add note to seller upon purchase.)

The focal bead measures 1 1/2 inches long by 3/4 inches wide. The woven tubes are 3/8 inches wide.

$35.00
From Valentine's Day through Spring, this bracelet would be a great addition to anyone's jewelry wardrobe!

90 Swarovski crystals, in alternating segments of Clear and Rose, make up the core of this tubular woven bracelet. Surrounding them like windows of netting are a mixture of seed beads in shades of pinks, gray, clear and black.

The bracelet comes together with a strong magnetic ball clasp made of Sterling Silver. The clasp is a 9mm ball.

The bracelet measures 7 3/4" long and about 3/8" thick/wide. Due to the thickness of the bracelet, it fits my 6 3/4" wrist perfectly with no tighness or slippage. Fine for an 'average' size wrist. (Not intended for children.)
