Triptych

When Artbeads contacted me about participating in the Spring Blogging for Beaders, I chose gorgeous blue zircon Swarovski settings to create my Coronet set. At the same time, I received lots of 3mm Swarovski pearls in four different colors. I had a design in mind and while it didn't turn out exactly as planned, I like the final results even better than the original idea!


I used the pearls, along with Delica beads in both 15/o and 11/o sizes, to make three netted rope bracelets with identical copper box clasps. The bracelets can be worn individually or together, but they can also be linked together to make a choker (with two bracelets) or a longer necklace (with all three bracelets). The bracelets are slightly graduated in length, so that when they are all worn together, they fit the wrist comfortably.

*Please note: I have received the above items (the 3mm pearls) free of charge from Artbeads. This is my honest review of the product and I have not been paid for my endorsement as it pertains to the products received.

Coronet Earrings - New Color Combinations

I made a bunch of Coronet Earrings last week and neglected to post them here. They are for sale in my ArtFire shop or on my website. Plus, I had a special order for a pendant to match the purple earrings somebody bought. I can make these in any color combo:
