Pink, Green and Purple Flower Lampwork Silver Bracelet and Earring Set


pink and green flowered bracelet gift for her




Spring is in the air with this distinctive pink flower lampwork bracelet and earrings set. A perfect gift for Mother's Day or just to treat yourself for the upcoming Spring and Easter holiday. The bracelet was created using 3 different styles of glass lampwork beads. First, the perfect pink cosmos flower is reflected in great detail along the outer edge of pretty peridot green glass beads. The second bead is translucent glass with spring green swirls weaving around the outer edge. The third is a deep amethyst purple glass bead with pretty ribbon-like stripes and green dots. I have added art deco pewter bead caps to each side of the glass lampwork. In between are Czech rose porphyr fire polished crystals. These lovely Czech glass beads go from translucent to opaque with swirls of pink and white. The overall length of the bracelet is 7 inches or 17.8 centimeters.

The bracelet is finished off with sterling silver wire guards to protect the beading wire from wear and adding longevity to the bracelet. For the closure I selected a TierraCast silver-plated lobster claw clasp. For the final touch I added a textured security chain so that the bracelet will not accidentally fall off. The security chain can also be used to add a bit of additional length to the bracelet. To complete the set I created a pair of matching earrings using the clear glass and spring green swirled lampwork beads. The earring dangles sway from hypo-allergenic leverback earrings which are great for preventing the loss of your earrings. The leverbacks are produced in the United States.

Picasso Glass Handmade Lampwork Tanzanite Crystal Dangle OOAK Earrings


handmade dangle earrings for women



These distinctive long earrings of Czech table cut glass, Swarovski crystals and artisan crafted lampwork are perfect for the discerning woman who loves unique jewelry. The overall make of these earrings contains two handmade links which I have named "Painted Earth". For the first link I used sleek and smooth handcrafted lampwork glass beads made using opaque Painted Desert Odd glass by Vetrofond. This is a gorgeous streaky color that is unique and whimsical as a desert breeze and were handcrafted by Charlotte of Covergirlbeads.

Resting on top of the lampwork bead is a small Swarovski tanzanite crystal bicone topped with a tiny antique silver plated bead cap by TierraCast. Below the lampwork is another Swarovski crystal in a light smoky topaz shade. For the second link I cam across these wonderful Czech rose sandstone Picasso table-cut glass beads. The Czech Republic are masters of unique finishes. The glass bead is a streaked cream and pale lavender and the Picasso finish is a light brown. The glass bead is then polished to remove the Picasso finish which lets the underlying glass shine through. Truly an amazing piece of work. On top of the Czech table-cut glass bead I added another Swarovski crystal in a lovely tanzanite color. The entire earring dangle is hand-wrapped and attached to .925 sterling silver ear wires which have been embellished with a Swarovski crystal in light smoky topaz.

Red and White Valentine Superduo Beadwoven Cuff Bracelet

Valentines and peppermints come to mind when I see this wonderful BOHO snakeskin Czech superduo beadwoven bracelet. To start off I selected a bright neon cherry red superduo bead to run down the center of the bracelet. This lovely shade of red has an almost velvety finish to it. For the outer edges I selected matte chalk Czech superduos. Along the outer edge I added a hint of sparkle and shine using TOHO Japanese silver lined crystal seed beads. To finish the bracelet off I created loops using TOHO opaque cherry seed beads to which I attached antique silver oval jump rings. For the closure I used an antique silver jubilee toggle style closure. The toggle has a lovely swirling heart shape and the toggle bar curves inward to securely hold the bracelet on your wrist.
This bracelet is 7 1/2 inches or 190 mm in length which is perfect for an average 7 to 7 1/4 inch wrist. Make sure you measure to ensure a good fit. Measure your wrist by using a flexible measuring tape, measure just above (towards elbow) the wrist bone, then add 1/4" to 1 " (1/2" is average) depending on how tight you like your bracelets to fit. That is the size bracelet you would wear. These bracelets cannot be re-sized.
