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.

Olive oval Czech Republic pressed glass bead using gold plated bell shape bead cap.
These olive color glass beads have a soft twist to them which nicely catches the light.

The gold plated bell shape bead caps for these earrings came from gold plated dangles similiar to the silver plated dangles 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.
