Earrings, bracelets, necklaces ... I love to make them all. Swarovski crystal beads bring sparkling colors and
visual texture to my jewelry designs. Czech Republic glass beads offer rich deep colors, with individual
2-tone Czech beads often possessing unique color shading within the clear glass of the bead. For warm colors, I like to make
bracelets from the natural beauty of obsidian and jasper beads.

Silver color loop drop with loops removed and an added Swarovski 4mm bicone 5301 crystal bead
I purchased these silver color chandelier drops. They had three dangle loops which easily broke off when I started to hang dangles! Annoyed at
purchasing useless drops I got to thinking and decided to snip the other two dangle loops off. Then I used a rasp to smooth off the snipped
outter edge of the drop. There was a drilled hole right under the top loop. So I used a ball-ended head pin to hang an Amethyst Swarovski®
4mm bicone in the center of the drop.
Overall length excluding platter earrings: 0.75 inches
