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 plated dangle earrings with 8mm Amethyst Swarovski® crystal beads using silver plated bell shape bead cap.
The numerous faceted sides of a 8mm Amethyst Swarovski® crystal bead nicely catches the light.
The silver plated bell shape bead caps for these earrings came from silver plated dangles such as the ones shown below.
As you can see in the photo, I cut off and discarded the top eyepin of the dangle thereby releasing the silver plated bell shape bead cap from the link chains.
