    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    WhooHoo! This is wow beautiful!

    Banded Pink to Fuchsia Agates, Clear Quartz & Mother of Pearl

    Lanyard, ID Badge Holder or Necklace

    38" in length or 19" from clip to clasp

    Medium Chunky ~ Medium Heavy Weight

    ~~~

    To make this lanyard I used high quality and beautifully marked Banded Pink Agate tubes and rounds, Clear Quartz balls & Mother of Pearl shells. I also used faceted glass oval beads, 6mm Pink Agate & Clear Quartz little balls! The clear beads look like little balls of light reflecting against your blouse. You should know by now, I wouldn't try to sell you an ugly lanyard and that this is much prettier than it shows!

    These gems are soft and smooth and the best of the best! There is not one single flaw in any of these rocks! 100% beautiful and well worth 3.00 per inch, the typical going rate for gemstone jewelry. I am asking less than 1.00 per inch, trying to recoup monies I should not have spent. Sure is hard to get used to being broke.

    Simply remove the very cool lobster claw clip to wear as a necklace! Then you can use this oh so pretty clip for something else on your keys or for a zipper pull!

    Nice low start price just because & I think you will love this lanyard.

    This is a OOAK piece because as with all God made gems, no 2 will ever be the same.

    Sizes: 25mm = 1"

    • 2 - Banded Pink Agate tubes 29 x 10mm
    • 4 - 14mm Clear Quartz balls
    • 2 - 14mm Pink Agate balls
    • 7 - Mother of Pearl diamond shaped shells about 16mm
    • Oodles of 6mm Pink Agate rounds
    • Oodles of 6mm Clear Quartz rounds
    • 4 - Clear Glass faceted ovals 18 x 13 x 8mm thick
    • 1 - Clear Quartz flat oval nugget, 25 x 20 x 11mm thick

    Bali silver saucers, bead caps, bail, lobster claw clip and fancy heart & flower toggle clasp.

    Silver plated 5mm crimp bead covers

    Your fancy heart clip is attached to a Bali silver bail where I also attached a gemstone & shell dangle.

    I used a very detailed Bali silver toggle clasp for easy on - easy off.

    This piece is finished off with 6mm Pink Agate rounds all the way around your neck and is crimped 4 times for added security. The unsightly crimps are covered with plated crimp covers. It is strung on 49 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust or snag your clothing! This is the heaviest wire possible to fit inside the beads holes. This is also why I do not use tiny seed beads as my wire does not fit inside them and I believe the wire that does fit is not heavy enough to use for such long pieces.

    In all my items, I use only the very best product available, the best beads, the heaviest metals, wires, findings, hardware and pins, which causes me to charge a little more for my items.

    See my "Extended Kindness" warranty below for your assurance that my items do not break!

    From experience I know that women love to receive beaded items as gifts!

Therefore; I do appreciate each customer with all my heart and every little bit helps emotionally and financially!

    I apologize but I have to stop repairing other beaders/eBayers items. Please go back to where you bought your item to see what the sellers breakage policy is and/or if they will repair it for you.  It is taking up too much of my time and does not pay the bills. Thanks for understanding.

    You don't have to read all the boring legal words below. There are no hidden meanings in my listings, no words to seek out and find between the lines. The disclaimers below is simply to cover myself for just in case; like the one that thought she would get one key chain for each photo.

    A word about Bali, Tibetan, German silver and/or gold. I love these type of metals as they do not peel, tarnish or loose their original beauty. They are not required by law to disclose their gold or silver content therefor you will not find a stamping like .925 silver or 14kt gold on the beads, charm holders, clasps, etc.

    Yes, I did put in quite a few photos, this is so you can make an informed decision to buy this piece for yourself or a deserving friend.

    A crimp bead cover is a split bead that folds down and around the crimp. It does leave an unavoidable seam that is barely noticeable. I mention this because after a time consuming struggle a fellow beading ebayer has lost her store because one buyer thought this crimp cover was a broken or plastic bead and left a Negative before even asking the seller about it! Small stores are greatly effected by one N feedback.

    If there is a coin in the photos, it is for size comparison only and does not come with the listed item.

    Kathy's Extended Warranty is for your security and free! If your item breaks, which it won't but if it does, I will repair it for free! I even pay for all postage! It won't break, but if it does, simply email me so I can send you a SASE to return the beads to me and I will repair it. Please tie off your item so as to keep as many of the beads on the strand as possible so I can recreate the same pattern. It won't break. I have not been abused or used yet because my items don't break; therefore I have not set a time duration to this policy. Within reason, I guess...
     

    Also, please, realize just how powerful your feedback is and that ONE negative AND even a NEUTRAL can and DOES shut down small sellers. One N feedback can cause us to loose our rights to be added to ebays search engines, thus no one can find our listings!) Feedback can have very detrimental consquenses, please know what your opinion is very powerful so please consider how human sellers are.

    DID YOU KNOW? Neutral and Negative feedbacks have the same consequences for a seller therefore any N feedback will shut down a small seller like me. Please, contact me if you are unhappy and give me the chance to make you happy and satisfied. If something has gone wrong, it was completely accidental. I promise to NEVER lie, cheat or steal from you.

    And, a little info about the new rating program in Ebay regarding stars for sellers. 2 out of 4  of the stars your seller has no control over and yet we are graded as if we do. We should not be held responsible for how long it takes for delivery but for how SOON WE ACTUALLY SHIPPED IT and for the quality of the packaging.

    Also, these little stars also determine how much your seller pays in fees so please help keep prices and fees down by contacting the seller if there is a problem to resolve and leave appropriate feedback and star ratings after the problem is rectified.

    And, a little info about the new rating program in Ebay regarding stars for sellers. Anything below a 4.8 and we are charged more for our listings and fees. It would seem that a 3 of 5 stars would be average but even a 4 star rating is too low to be considered a "top seller". We HAVE to receive 5 of 5 stars each and every time. I strive for perfection, not only for these ratings but because you deserve such service. 2 out of 4  of the stars your seller has no control over and yet we are graded as if we do. We should not be held responsible for how long it takes for delivery but for how SOON WE ACTUALLY SHIPPED IT and for the quality of the packaging.

    Also, these little stars also determine how much your seller pays in fees so please help keep prices and fees down by contacting the seller if there is a problem to resolve and leave appropriate feedback and star ratings after the problem is rectified.

    I appreciate each and every sale with all my heart. My medical expenses are now over 1030.00 each and every single month, enough now that I can't afford it and yet, I can't live without it. Learning to live on a budget of zero has been hard after a life of all I ever wanted, so I list these items hoping to recoup monies I shouldn't have spent. I had no idea this would happen to me, so THANK YOU, sincerely... thank you! For trusting in me and my product and for loving my items enough to buy them!

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    WhooHoo! This is wow beautiful!

    Banded Pink to Fuchsia Agates, White Quartz & White Agate

    Lanyard, ID Badge Holder or Necklace

    with Moon & Stars Toggle Clasp

    36" in length or 18" from clip to clasp

    Medium Chunky ~ Medium Heavy Weight

    ~~~

    To make this lanyard I used high quality and beautifully marked Banded Pink Agate tubes and rounds, White Quartz rondelles & White Agate rounds.

    Take a little peak at how lovely these rocks are! The tubes streak from a milky white to deep dark fuchsia pink with stripes of lighter pinks while the round pink gems are mostly just light and dark pinks working their way around and through the beads. In many photos, I tried to show you all sides of these beads so you can see just how remarkable they are! The White Quartz has a lovely look of powdered sugar look to them and are amazing at just how white they are. These are rocks, can you imagine finding rocks like this in your back yard! Oh my! Thank God for such wonders!

    These gems are soft and smooth and the best of the best! There is not one single flaw in any of these rocks! 100% beautiful and well worth 3.00 per inch, the typical going rate for gemstone jewelry. I am asking less than 1.00 per inch, trying to recoup monies I should not have spent. Sure is hard to get used to being broke.

    Simply remove the very cool lobster claw clip to wear as a necklace! Then you can use this oh so pretty clip for something else on your keys or for a zipper pull!

    This piece was not cheap to create and it is not only lovely but quite classy too!

    Take a peak in my store for a bracelet and earrings that will coordinate with this just beautifully. Sold separate of course, I wonder why they advise to say that?

    This is a OOAK piece because as with all God made gems, no 2 will ever be the same.

    Sizes: 25mm = 1"

    • 2 - Banded Pink Agate tubes 30 x 10mm
    • 3 - Banded Pink Agate rounds 14mm
    • 9 - Banded Pink Agate rounds 10mm
    • 2 - White Quartz rondelles 16 x 13mm
    • Oodles White Agate rounds, 10 and 6mmm

    Bali silver saucers, bead caps, bail, lobster claw clip and Moon & 2 Stars toggle clasp and charm.

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    White Agate, Blue Sodalite & White Mt Jade

    Lanyard, ID Badge Holder or Necklace

    with Beaded Angel & Lapis Heart

    36" in length or 18" from clip to clasp

    Medium Chunky ~ Medium Weight

    ~~~

    To make this lanyard I used high quality and beautifully marked Blue Sodalite flat oval nuggets, White Agate coin beads, Dark Navy firepolished glass rounds and White Mt Jades.

    Take a little peak at how lovely these rocks are! They streak from white to dark navy blue, even in the little 6mm rounds, the markings are just lovely! Can you imagine finding a rock so pretty in your yard!

    To create your angel I used a 22mm Bali silver poofy heart for her skirt, a Blue Chalcedony head, Bali silver wings that spin in the wind and a big flower halo to protect her skin from the sun! Below her hangs a Bali silver heart that is made from flowers & leaves and a hand carved Lapis heart! Hearts every where! You also have a heart and flower heart toggle clasp at the back of your neck and a heart lobster claw clip! I love hearts, the beautiful symbol of love, don't you just love love!

    Simply remove the very cool lobster claw clip to wear as a necklace! Then you can use this oh so pretty clip for something else on your keys or for a zipper pull!

    This piece was not cheap to create and it is not only lovely but quite classy too!

    This is a OOAK piece because as with all God made gems, no 2 will ever be the same.

    Sizes: 25mm = 1"

    • 2 - Blue Sodalite flat ovals pillow beads 25 x 17 x 8mm thick
    • 8 - Blue Sodalite rounds 10 and many 6mm rounds
    • 5 - Blue Chalcedony 8mm rounds
    • 4 - White Agate 16mm coin beads
    • 10 - Firepolished glass 6mm rounds
    • oodles - White Mt Jade 6mm rounds
    • 1 - Lapis heart 5mm

    Bali silver saucers, bead caps, bail, lobster claw clip and heart toggle clasp.

    Silver plated 5mm crimp bead covers

    Your fancy heart clip is attached to a Bali silver round bail where I also attached a your angel.

    I used a fancy Bali silver heart & flower toggle clasp for easy on - easy off.

    This piece is finished off with 6mm White Mt Jade rounds all the way around your neck and is crimped 4 times for added security. The unsightly crimps are covered with plated crimp covers. It is strung on 49 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust or snag your clothing! This is the heaviest wire possible to fit inside the beads holes. This is also why I do not use tiny seed beads as my wire does not fit inside them and I believe the wire that does fit is not heavy enough to use for such long pieces.

    In all my items, I use only the very best product available, the best beads, the heaviest metals, wires, findings, hardware and pins, which causes me to charge a little more for my items.

    You don't have to read all the boring legal words below. There are no hidden meanings in my listings, no words to seek out and find between the lines. The disclaimers below is simply to cover myself for just in case; like the one that thought she would get one key chain for each photo.

    A word about Bali, Tibetan, German silver and/or gold. I love these type of metals as they do not peel, tarnish or loose their original beauty. They are not required by law to disclose their gold or silver content therefor you will not find a stamping like .925 silver or 14kt gold on the beads, charm holders, clasps, etc.

    Yes, I did put in quite a few photos, this is so you can make an informed decision to buy this piece for yourself or a deserving friend.

    A crimp bead cover is a split bead that folds down and around the crimp. It does leave an unavoidable seam that is barely noticeable.

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    Blue Sodalite, Hematite & Blue Chalcedony

    Lanyard, ID Badge Holder or Necklace

    38" in length or 19" from clip to clasp

    Medium Chunky ~ Medium Weight

    ~~~

    To make this lanyard I used high quality and beautifully marked Blue Sodalite, shiny charcoal black Hematite and Blue Chalcedony. Other than a few nicely detailed Bali silver beads, this is 100% gemstones!

    This is a OOAK piece because as with all God made gems, no 2 will ever be the same.

    Sizes: 25mm = 1"

    • 4 - Blue Sodalite pillow beads 20 x 15 x 6mm thick
    • 11 - Blue Sodalite rounds 10 and 6mm
    • 10 - Blue Chalcedony freeform cube nuggets, 9 x 8mm & 8mm rounds
    • oodles - Hematite 5 and 4mm bicones
    • 3 - large Bali silver saucers with twirl designs, 12 x 8mm

    Bali silver saucers, bead caps, bail, lobster claw clip and heart toggle clasp.

    Silver plated 5mm crimp bead covers

    Your fancy heart clip is attached to a Bali silver floral bail where I also attached a 2.5" dangle of beads.

    I used a fancy Bali silver heart & flower toggle clasp for easy on - easy off.

    This piece is finished off with 4mm Hematite gemstones all the way around your neck and is crimped 4 times for added security. The unsightly crimps are covered with gold plated crimp covers. It is strung on 49 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust or snag your clothing! This is the heaviest wire possible to fit inside the beads holes. This is also why I do not use tiny seed beads as my wire does not fit inside them and I believe the wire that does fit is not heavy enough to use for such long pieces.

    In all my items, I use only the very best product available, the best beads, the heaviest metals, wires, findings, hardware and pins, which causes me to charge a little more for my items.

    See my "Extended Kindness" warranty below for your assurance that my items do not break!

    From experience I know that women love to receive beaded items as gifts!

    My insurance, co-pays, deductibles and medicines are 1030. each and every month, which is about to break me. This isn't my family insurance or daily expenses it is JUST ME and only my medical. Therefore; I do appreciate each customer with all my heart and every little bit helps emotionally and financially!

    I apologize but I have to stop repairing other beaders/eBayers items. Please go back to where you bought your item to see what the sellers breakage policy is and/or if they will repair it for you.  It is taking up too much of my time and does not pay the bills. Thanks for understanding.

    You don't have to read all the boring legal words below. There are no hidden meanings in my listings, no words to seek out and find between the lines. The disclaimers below is simply to cover myself for just in case; like the one that thought she would get one key chain for each photo.

    A word about Bali, Tibetan, German silver and/or gold. I love these type of metals as they do not peel, tarnish or loose their original beauty. They are not required by law to disclose their gold or silver content therefor you will not find a stamping like .925 silver or 14kt gold on the beads, charm holders, clasps, etc.

    Yes, I did put in quite a few photos, this is so you can make an informed decision to buy this piece for yourself or a deserving friend.

    A crimp bead cover is a split bead that folds down and around the crimp. It does leave an unavoidable seam that is barely noticeable. I mention this because after a time consuming struggle a fellow beading ebayer has lost her store because one buyer thought this crimp cover was a broken or plastic bead and left a Negative before even asking the seller about it! Small stores are greatly effected by one N feedback.

    If there is a coin in the photos, it is for size comparison only and does not come with the listed item.

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    ONE AND ONLY!

    Rich Warm Brilliant Browns, Tans & Topaz

    Lanyard or Necklace with Bali Silvers

    38" in length or 19" from clip to toggle clasp

    Medium Chunky - Light weight! One of a KIND!!!

    ~~~

    I think you will love how easy this will compliment your wardrobe! The warm browns will work with almost any color!

    I used many tones of browns in this strand which is very complimentary to the natural lines and colors in these hard wooden flat squares. I forget the name of this wood but it is naturally glossy, smooth,very hard, very durable but light weight; perfect for a lanyard! The 21 x 12 x 10mm thick, big bright topaz nuggets are glass and very fluid and so crisp you can read through them! I also used 2 (14mm) styles of tan and brown lampworks, one with raised flowers and the other is smooth with flowingswirls. For fun I added a 8mm bronze faceted firepolished bead and 14mm rich golden glass saucers.

    I love how pretty silvers and browns are. Typically we put brown with golds but wait until you see how very rich this looks!

    Throughout this piece I used Bali silver fancy bead caps, saucers and daisies. On your floral bail I dangled a drip of beads with a mini cross at the bottom. I used a 1" large fancy lobster claw clip that has beautiful heart detailing on both sides to hang your ID Badges, keys, whistles and what nots. Simply remove the clip to wear as a necklace!

    This piece is finished off all the way around your neck with the flat square wooden beads and it has a BEAUTIFUL Bali silver Heart Shaped toggle clasp for easy on - easy off and is crimped 4 times for added security.

    The unsightly crimps are covered with silver plated crimp covers for a nice crisp professional look.

    Sure! Resizing is available and YES, I do combine for cheaper shipping.

    All of my lanyards are strung on 49 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust or snag your clothing! This is the heaviest wire possible to fit inside the beads holes. This is also why I do not use tiny seed beads as my wire does not fit inside them and I believe the wire that does fit is not heavy enough to use for such long pieces.

    In all my items, I use only the very best product available, the best beads, the heaviest metals, wires, findings, hardware and pins, which causes me to charge a little more for my items.

    And, a little info about the new rating program in Ebay regarding stars for sellers. Anything below a 4.8 and we are charged more for our listings and fees. It would seem that a 3 of 5 stars would be average but even a 4 star rating is too low to be considered a "top seller". We HAVE to receive 5 of 5 stars each and every time. I strive for perfection, not only for these ratings but because you deserve such service. 2 out of 4  of the stars your seller has no control over and yet we are graded as if we do. We should not be held responsible for how long it takes for delivery but for how SOON WE ACTUALLY SHIPPED IT and for the quality of the packaging.

    Also, these little stars also determine how much your seller pays in fees so please help keep prices and fees down by contacting the seller if there is a problem to resolve and leave appropriate feedback and star ratings after the problem is rectified.

    ONE AND ONLY!

     

    Soft Greens, Warm Browns, Lampwork

    Lanyard or Necklace

    38" in length or 19" from clip to toggle clasp

    Medium Chunky - Medium weight! One of a KIND!!!

    ~~~

    I think you will love how easy this will compliment your wardrobe! The warm tans with soft greens will work with almost any color!

    I used 3 styles of coordinating lampworks in this piece. Please look at how artistic they are. The flat rounds have a light tan base with green and brown swirls of melted glass, while the matching rondelles are slightly floral shaped with dark brown to light tan swirls mixed with soft greens and the flat squares have an off white base with dichroic like melted greens, browns and tiny Millefiori flowers! I also used soft foamy green faceted glass rectangles, soft green sculptured pearls, Peruvial Green Opal rondelles, Topaz Glass Cubes, Green Cats Eyes and Tan Mother of Pearl rounds. I didn't use bead caps on the rondelle lampworks because the sides are as pretty as the front of the beads and I didn't want to cover up such pretty lines.

    Throughout this piece I used Bali golden saucers, daisies and mini barrel beads. On your floral bail I dangled a large glass daisy with coordinating beads and your large lobster claw clip to hang your ID Badges, keys, whistles and what nots. Simply remove the clip to wear as a necklace!

    This piece is finished off all the way around your neck with 6mm Brown Mother of Pearl rounds. It has a Bali golden style round toggle clasp for easy on - easy off and is crimped 4 times for added security.

    The unsightly crimps are covered with gold plated crimp covers for a nice crisp professional look.

    Sure! Resizing is available and YES, I do combine for cheaper shipping.

    You don't have to read all the boring legal words below. There are no hidden meanings in my listings, no words to seek out and find to read between the lines. The disclaimers below is simply to cover myself for just in case; like the one that thought she would get one key chain for each photo.

    A word about Bali, Tibetan, German silver and/or gold. I love these type of metals as they do not peel, tarnish or loose their original beauty. They are not required by law to disclose their gold or silver content therefor you will not find a stamping like .925 silver or 14kt gold on the beads, charm holders, clasps, etc.

    Yes, I did put in quite a few photos, this is so you can make an informed decision to buy this piece for yourself or a deserving friend.

    A crimp bead cover is a split bead that folds down and around the crimp. It does leave an unavoidable seam that is barely noticeable. I mention this because after a time consuming struggle a fellow beading ebayer has lost her store because one buyer thought this crimp cover was a broken or plastic bead and left a Negative before even asking the seller about it! Small stores are greatly effected by one N feedback.

    If there is a coin in the photos, it is for size comparison only and does not come with the listed item.

    Kathy's Extended Warranty is for your security and free! If your item breaks, which it won't but if it does, I will repair it for free! I even pay for all postage! It won't break, but if it does, simply email me so I can send you a SASE to return the beads to me and I will repair it. Please tie off your item so as to keep as many of the beads on the strand as possible so I can recreate the same pattern. It won't break. I have not been abused or used yet because my items don't break; therefore I have not set a time duration to this policy. Within reason, I guess...

    Also, please, realize just how powerful your feedback is and that ONE negative AND even a NEUTRAL can and DOES shut down small sellers. One N feedback can cause us to loose our rights to be added to ebays search engines, thus no one can find our listings!) Feedback can have very detrimental consquenses, please know what your opinion is very powerful so please consider how human sellers are.

    DID YOU KNOW? Neutral and Negative feedbacks have the same consequences for a seller therefore any N feedback will shut down a small seller like me. Please, contact me if you are unhappy and give me the chance to make you happy and satisfied. If something has gone wrong, it was completely accidental. I promise to NEVER lie, cheat or steal from you.

    And, a little info about the new rating program in Ebay regarding stars for sellers. Anything below a 4.8 and we are charged more for our listings and fees. It would seem that a 3 of 5 stars would be average but even a 4 star rating is too low to be considered a "top seller". We HAVE to receive 5 of 5 stars each and every time. I strive for perfection, not only for these ratings but because you deserve such service. 2 out of 4  of the stars your seller has no control over and yet we are graded as if we do. We should not be held responsible for how long it takes for delivery but for how SOON WE ACTUALLY SHIPPED IT and for the quality of the packaging.

    Also, these little stars also determine how much your seller pays in fees so please help keep prices and fees down by contacting the seller if there is a problem to resolve and leave appropriate feedback and star ratings after the problem is rectified.

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    ONE AND ONLY! Gorgeous, Natural & Classy

    Lusterous White Stick Pearls, Cherry Quartz, Peach & White Mt Jades

    Lanyard or Necklace

    38" in length or 19" from clip to toggle clasp

    Medium-light weight! One of a KIND!!!

    ~~~

    I put in quite a few photos so you can see these beautiful God made pearls and gemstones! The whites sea stick pearls have a lovely, thick nacre that reflects soft rainbow hues just like the finest pearls do. The Cherry Quartz gems are a rich cherry peachy color and are oh so pretty!!! There is ZERO ORANGE in this piece although some photos look orange, I assure you it is a true peach. 

    To make this very pretty lanyard or necklace, I used:

    • Stick Pearls = 23 - 25 x 10 x 4mm thick

    • Coin Pearl = 12mm
    • Cherry Quartz = Hearts 22mm & Faceted Ovals 15 x 10 x 10mm thick
    • Mountain Jades = White 6 and 8mm rounds, Peach 4 & 8mm rounds

    • White Lampworks = 16mm barrels

    • Mother of Pearl = Peach Diamond shaped 20mm

    • Mother of Pearl = White 7 x 3mm rondelles

    Bali gold = saucers, daisies, ornate bead caps, bail & toggle clasp

    Gold Plated = 5mm crimp covers

    38" of sassy classy sunshine beach fun! Pearls always remind me of the beach, the sunshine and cool breezes and oysters! These are salt water pearls not freshwater, thus the price and nice nacre!

      Through out this piece I used several styles of ornate Bali golden beads, daisies, saucers and bead caps. Please realize that the cost of gold effects all golds and the prices have doubled from 2 years ago with the price of gold going up more each day.

    This is a OOAK because I was hurt and missed the gem show that only comes 2 times a year; so my inventory is low and I can't restock until November.

    Dangling from your Bali gold bail I hung dangles with your lobster claw clip which you can easily remove to wear as a necklace!

      Please zoom the photos for more viewing pleasures!

    This piece is finished off all the way around your neck with 6mm White Mt Jade rounds. It has a Bali golden style round toggle clasp for easy on - easy off and is crimped 4 times for added security.

    The unsightly crimps are covered with gold plated crimp covers for a nice crisp professional look.

    Sure! Resizing is available and YES, I do combine for cheaper shipping.

    All of my lanyards are strung on 49 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust or snag your clothing! This is the heaviest wire possible to fit inside the beads holes. This is also why I do not use tiny seed beads as my wire does not fit inside them and I believe the wire that does fit is not heavy enough to use for such long pieces.

    In all my items, I use only the very best product available, the best beads, the heaviest metals, wires, findings, hardware and pins, which causes me to charge a little more for my items.

    See my "Extended Kindness" warranty below for your assurance that my items do not break!

    Shop @ Kathy's Beaded Blessings because you deserve the best!

    From experience I know that women love to receive lanyards as gifts!

    I apologize but I have to stop repairing other beaders/eBayers items. Please go back to where you bought your item to see what the sellers breakage policy is and/or if they will repair it for you.  Although I learn from other's errors; it is taking up too much of my time and does not pay the bills. Thanks for understanding.

  • toni brattin long curly wig with headbands, med brown nib

    5:57 PM PST, 4/24/2010

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    ONE AND ONLY!

    If you like beautiful soft curls that drape like genuine hair and is way too easy, this is the perfect piece for you. I thought how easy this would be when I didn't have the strength to do my hair as I want it but when you feel like crud you don't care much about how you look, so I never have worn it - not even once except to day dream. These are being sold at HSN right now for 98.95 plus 8.23 shipping as of April 24th under item number 381-742.

    It slides on just like putting on a headband that fast and you are done! No fuss or hiding your hair, just let your bangs hang out or pull them back, it is up to you. I really is pretty and it feels and looks like real hair! The bounce and sass is just too much fun for a woman with an injured spine!

    It comes with complete instructions for wearing and washing care, storage box, net and 2 headbands, one black and one brown. Soft draping curls just below your shoulders.

    As per HSN:

    Changing your hairstyle is as easy as changing your headband with the Toni Brattin™ Toni's Headband Fall Sassy Curl. Just slip it on for 13" of loose, wavy curls that fall just to shoulder length. No curling iron required! Comes with 2 interchangeable headbands.

    Toni Brattin™ Toni's Headband Fall Sassy Curl Features:

    • Change your style quickly and easily
    • 2 interchangeable plastic headbands - black and tortoise color
    • Headbands attach to hair piece with hook and loop closures so it stays put
    • Soft, synthetic hair looks and feels natural
    • Made of 100% modacrylic fibers
    • Wash with a mild shampoo as needed
    • Made in China

    Right now, I just want to recoup some of the money I should not have spent on this luxury item. It is so hard to learn to live on zilch after having all I ever wanted. Living and learning, the hard way at 54 years old.

    So here's your chance to save 20.00! And thank you!

    Thank you for shopping with me. Every single month my medical expenses now exceed 1030.00 EVERY month; just medical and it is about to financially destroy us. Once financially secure with a retirement fund to zero and begging for aid, pretty humbling. So, while I do have much to be thankful for and I do count my blessings for I am not completely paralyzed as they projected, I am truly appreciative to my customers that help pay these bills! Thank you for shopping where you will recieve the best product, sincere customer service & hopefully you feel a little spoiled!

    From experience I know that women love to receive beaded goodies as gifts and I do beading when my body lets me, so come see in my store!

    Please sign up for my store sales by adding me to your favorite sellers list! I won't fill your mail box with junk mail or give your information out to others! Add me to your Favorite Sellers

    I apologize but I have to stop repairing other beaders/eBayers items. Please go back to where you bought your item to see what the sellers breakage policy is and/or if they will repair it for you.  Although I learn from other's errors; it is taking up too much of my time, my carpal tunnel doesn't allow for much beading and the beading I do do is for my selfish pleasures. Repairs do not pay the bills. Thanks for understanding.
