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.

| Gold plated 9-loop drop earrings with Swarovski® 4mm bicone crystal bead dangles.
I knew I wanted a lot of dangle movement for these earrings so I make up chain using
three 4mm gold plated jumprings and put those onto each of the 9-loops of the
chandelier drop.
