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.

Natural Amethyst chips dangle from a Sterling Silver heart shaped chandelier earring drop.
Length of earring excluding earwire: 1.50 inch
These natural Amethyst chips were selected from two 36-inch strands of 4mm-16mm chips. For the inner dangles I wanted
14+mm size chips and it was difficult to find two similar chips for the inner dangles.

After the pain of finding two similar matching 14+mm chips out of 72 inches of 4mm-16mm natural amethyst chips I wanted to have a more securely way
then a regular jumpring to hang the 14+mm chip from my chandelier drop.
I purchased these 8mm endless hoops, found out right away the gauge of the hoop was too much for the drilled hole in the amethyst chips, but the thinner
insertion wire of the hoop nicely went through the drilled hole of the amethyst chip.
