Hi, and welcome to Merry Designs!
Merry Designs features lampworked beads, many of them made by the wonderful international community of glass artists right here on Etsy.
I combine these little glass masterpieces with gold-filled (the gold layer is much thicker than on gold-plated items) and sterling silver findings, lead-free pewter, genuine Swarovski crystals and glass "pearls," Japanese seed beads (the best in the world) and other high-quality bits and pieces.
I design and assemble these items with great care and attention to details like design balance, color harmony, and sturdiness. I string on kink-resistant, nylon-covered, multi-strand steel cable, and I use 4 crimp beads (instead of 2) for strength and long wearability. I always provide "stoppers" to keep hook earrings from working their way out of your ears as you walk.
Browse through my beautiful, one-of-a-kind jewelry, ask questions, and enjoy!
Thanks for dropping by today, and I hope you check back again often.
