  • white freshwater pearl, rose, gold necklace and bracelet set

    3:23 PM PST, 6/30/2010

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     White Freshwater Pearl Necklace & Bracelet Set in Bali Golds & Swarovski Pink Crystals, Angel & Clay Roses

    Itty Bitty, just like Mom's!

    ~~~

    Necklace = 17"

    Bracelet = 7.5" unstretched

    Actually, this is large enough for adults too! And, I can resize it for you, just let me know what size you need.

    I LOVE this set! Soft and sweet, so feminine! The necklace has 3 roses, 6mm Swarovski rose pink crystals and a fancy Bali golden flower and heart toggle clasp.

    The bracelet has sweet little pearls, 6mm Swarovski crystals and light pink Czech crystals all the way around her little wrist with a Bali golden connector with a beaded angel, a clay rose and a cross charm dangling.

    The angel is made with a genuine freshwater pearl, shaped in a teardrop body, pink glass wings and a glass pearl head. She wears a Swarovski clear crystal rondelle for her halo or tiara! She is so cute and just perfect for your little princess! .

    These rice pearls are not perfect but are lovely. They miss-sized, ringed and not the same shape but have a lovely nacre and beautiful luster! Perfect for her first set of pearls or for those that like the natural flaws that add texture, color and class!

    To make this set I used:  25mm = 1" :

    • White freshwater pearls = 5 and 6mm
    • Clay Roses = 14mm
    • Swarovski crystals = 6 and 4mm Rose pink
    • Czech crystals = 8 x 4mm rondelles
    • Bali golden connector, spacers and toggle clasp

    ~~~

    My jewelry is strung on heavy duty but flexible cable wire that is coated so it will not snag your clothing or rust! They are crimped with the unsightly crimps covered.A crimp cover is a split bead that I fold down around the crimp and pinch it together, leaving a barely noticeable but unavoidable seam. This is not a broken or cheap bead. They are either gold plated or silver plated, depending on the metal used in your piece.

    ~~~

    If there is a coin in the photos it is so you can compare sizes and is not included with this piece.

    Also, I have put approximate sizes in the photos as well. Remember, one inch = 25mm

    ~~~

    I apologize but I have decided to stop repairing other beaders items. Please go back to where you bought your item to see if the seller will fix it for you. It is taking up too much of my time and does cover my costs. 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 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 AND 4 stars is punishment time! A seller is removed if they average 4.2 stars. 4 is not a B as in a report card, it is a D and F.  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. What is worse is that 2 of the 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. I ship within 24 hours Monday through Friday. I list it as 2 days to protect myself for in case I can't.

    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.

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry


    Burnt Orange Angels, Lime Quartz, Flower Lampworks
    Lanyard, ID Badge Holder or Necklace

    ~~~

    38" in length or 19" strand

    Bright & Medium Weight
    ONE OF A KIND! No more Lime Quartz of this quality until the gemshow comes in November!
    ~~~
    I think you will love how these colors can work for all 4 seasons! The burnt oranges are an old vintage necklace, the Lime Quartz are as bright of yellow lime as they look and the angels, well they are just fun and bright!
    The angels are made with 2 layers of glass bellflowers, a bright orange Cats Eye head, spinning Bali golden wings and a large floppy hat/halo to protect their skin from sun damage!
    The lampworks are a nice large lampwork with a bright neon yellow core and orange and lime green raised flowers that really work beautifully with these delicious Lime Quartz rounds.

    This piece is finished off at the back of your neck with 6mm Lime Quartz rounds and matching your bail, a flower toggle clasp for easy on - easy off!
     
    Dangling from your matching bail I hung beaded dangles, a beaded angel and a Bali golden flower & cross charms! Ohhh, and your large lobster claw clip for your ID Badges, Whistles, Keys or What Nots!
     

    I am guessing matching earrings in these colors will be hard, so if you would like me to make you earrings or bracelet to match, I would love to!

    Average sizes: 25mm = 1 inch

    • Lampworks = 18mm
    • Lime Quartz = 6 and 8mm rounds
    • Cats Eyes = 8mm rounds orange
    • Glass beads = 12 x 9mm orange
    • Glass bicones = 8mm yellow
    • Firepolished glass = 6mm rounds
    • Bellflowers = 12mm and 8mm
    • Bali gold flower Bail, Toggle Clasp, Angel wings, Halo, Spacers, Bead Caps, Flower and cross, lobster claw clip

    ~~~

    This is 38" of high quality lampworks, glass beads & gemstones. I am sure you will enjoy wearing this and being the classiest lady at your workplace! That's 19" bail to clasp

    I would love to create a bracelet and earrings for you to complete your look!

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry


    Soft Lavender Fringe Shell
    Lanyard, ID Badge Holder or Necklace
    with White Quartz & Lilac Peruvian Opal!

    ~~~

    31" in length or 15.5" strand
    I did not attach the lanyard clip yet, so that you can decide what style charms, dangles, clip that you would like.
    GORGEOUS & Medium Weight
     One of a KIND!
    ~~~
    Oh goodness, this is just beautiful! These shell slices can hang all the same direction for a deep V look or you can mess them up and get a wide, lei look. These shell slices are so pretty, quite unique and tumbled smooth to the touch! Finished off at the back of your neck is genuine and beautiful Peruvian Opal rounds for a smooth touch to your skin. Between the shells and the Opals I slid in 2 large, White Quartz rondelles that are snowy white; like Powdered Sugar!
     

    I made this a little shorter than the normal lanyard so you can also wear it as a necklace. I slipped it on and I LOVED WEARING IT! It is soft and feminine and all rage right now! I also put a blazer over it and it was powerful & professional looking. Can't you imagine it with your scrubs or over a summer top it! This is a fun piece, not for the faint at heart! Are you gutzy enough for such a rare statement?

    Please remember, this is a one of a kind, I can not make another!

    I would love to make you matching earrings and bracelet to polish your look!

    Average sizes: 25mm = 1 inch

    • Mother of Pearl Shell Strips = 22 to 31mm (sizes vary)
    • White Quartz = 16 x 12mm rondelles
    • Peruvian Lilac Opal = 6mm rounds
    • Bali silver ball Bail, Heart Shaped Toggle Clasp, Spacers, Bead Caps


    Please let me know what style charms, pendant, heart and/or lanyard clip you would like. I tried hanging silver heart charms from a chain and it looked nice, while I think if we hung some lavender pearls and crystals with your lanyard clip that would look nice too. Or just leave it as it is and hang your ID Badge from the S hook. Or remove it all and wear as a fringe necklace.

    ~~~

    This is 31" of high quality pearls & gemstones. I am sure you will enjoy wearing this and being the classiest lady at your workplace! That's 15.5" bail to clasp

    I would love to create a bracelet and earrings for you to complete your look!

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry


    Tigers Eye, Golden Yellow Shell Chips & Ruby Quartz Crystal
    Lanyard, ID Badge Holder or Necklace
    with Angel Dangle & LOVE Charm

    ~~~

    39" in length or 19.5" from clip to clasp
    Chunky, A Little Heavier (than most) & One of a KIND!
    ~~~
    This is a fun neutral & springy piece with not perfect but beautiful Tigers Eye ovals and large rounds, colorful Ruby Quartz Crystals, Burgundy Jades and tumbled smooth shell chips. I love how big these shells chips are, giving you lots of color variations and fun texture. I promise you this is one very pretty piece and was pretty expensive to make, thus I have to start it higher to recoup my funds. Gemstones will last you at least a lifetime, so "cost of use" is like nothing per wear!
     
    Take a peak at these delicious Burgundy Jasper rounds; they are all I have left of these in this color and trying to replace them has only led to me having 12 strands of just brown and not this rich burgundy color
     
    As stated; these Tigers Eye ovals are not perfectly smooth; one is a little bit pitted; please see the photo but they are very worthy of wear or I wouldn't use them. The rounds, which are 14mm large are very nice quality and are quite BIG!

    I would love to make you matching earrings and bracelet to polish your look!

    Average sizes: 25mm = 1 inch

    • Tigers Eye = Ovals, 34 x 25 x 6mm thick, rounds, 14 and 16mm Angel Head 8mm
    • Mother of Pearl Shell Chips = 10 to 16mm (sizes vary)
    • Ruby Quartz Crystals = 8 x 5mm rondelles
    • Angel is made with = 14mm Tigers Eye body, 8mm faceted Tigers Eye head, Bali gold wings and Clear Crystal Rondelle halo.
    • Bali golden Floral Bail, Lobster Claw Clip, Round Toggle Clasp, Spacers, Bead Caps and LOVE charm.


    This piece is finished off behind your neck with BEAUTIFUL dark burgundy Jasper, 8mm rounds that look beautifully with these Ruby Quartz crystals! Thank you for looking and please remember, this is a OOAK piece!

    ~~~

    This is 39" of high quality pearls & crystals. I am sure you will enjoy wearing this and being the classiest lady at your workplace! That's 19.5" from clip to clasp!!! Well sure, I can shorten it for you!

A seller is removed if they average 4.2 stars. 4 is not a B as in a report card, it is a D and F.  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. What is worse is that 2 of the 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. I ship within 24 hours Monday through Friday. I list it as 2 days to protect myself for in case I can't.

    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


    Turquoise Cocoons, Butterflies, Flowers & Crystal
    Lanyard, ID Badge Holder or Necklace
    with Glass Rose Bud & Jade Butterfly Dangles

    ~~~

    36" in length or 18" from clip to clasp

    Chunky Weight & One of a KIND!

    ~~~

    Spring & Summer! I hope you like this piece, it took forever to balance it just right for you to wear and to remain "adult and classy". I give you many photos so you can see how very detailed these lampworks are with swirls of blues and cute little raised butterflies on both sides, the glow of MANY crystals, the "cocoons" aka Turquoise egg shaped nuggets and the glass beaded tulips.

    Also, dangling is a cute little Bee, a hand carved Turquoise Butterfly, a Momma beaded butterfly, a Beaded Tulip and a Glass Rose!

    I used several colors of blues in this strand, with Czech rondelle crystals and Swarovski bicone crystals. Some are just plain ole' Swarovski and some are the new 2xAB BLING, ZING Swarovski's!  Look beside each Bali silver butterfly for the "turquoise ABx2" crystal to see what I mean, they really make for some cool reflection! I also gave you a Flower toggle clasp for easy on - easy off!

    This springtime piece is made with genuine: 25mm = 1 inch

    • Turquoise Eggs = 12 x 8mm Cocoons? !
    • Lampworks = 23 x 20mm
    • Bali silver butterflies = 15mm
    • Turquoise butterfly = 15mm
    • Czech Crystals = 12 x8mm ovals and 8 x 5mm rondelles
    • Swarovski bicone crystals = 6 and 4mm, some are 2xAB
    • Tulips = 12mm bellflower, 8mm lucite leaves, 6mm Swarovski crystal
    • Glass Rose Bud = 12mm
    • Large Bali Silver Butterfly (dangle) = 28mm wingspan

    Throughout this piece I used Bali silver spacers, fancy bead caps, flower toggle clasp, tube style bail and very cute heart lobster claw clip.

    ~~~

    This piece is finished off behind your neck with the smooth Turquoise eggs for a soft feeling against your neck.

    This is 36" of high quality gemstones, lampworks, flowers & crystals. I am sure you will enjoy wearing this and being the classiest lady at your workplace! That's 18" from clip to clasp!!!

    ~~~

    My lanyards are crimped 4 times for added security and the unsightly crimps are covered.A crimp cover is a split bead that I fold down around the crimp and pinch it together, leaving a barely noticable but unavoidable seam. This is not a broken or cheap bead. They are either gold plated or silver plated, depending on the metal used in your piece.

    ~~~

    If there is a coin in the photos it is so you can compare sizes and is not included with this piece.

    Also, I have put approximate sizes in the photos as well. Remember, one inch = 25mm

    ~~~

    This is strung on heavy duty yet flexible, 0.24 gauge, 29 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust, break or snag your clothing! It won't break but if it does, but it won't, you are covered with KATHY'S EXTENDED KINDNESS WARRANTY! Don't fret, my items don't break.

    I apologize but I have decided to stop repairing other beaders items. Please go back to where you bought your item to see if the seller will fix it for you. It is taking up too much of my time and does cover my costs. 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 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. 5 stars is perfect and 4 stars is low enough to get you kicked out of eBay! It is not like a report card! A 4 star rating is too low to be considered a top seller so 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. And, 2 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. One lady marked me down for over charging on shipping before I could refund the error the calculators made and she received the refund but could not change it! Once it is done, it is done, so please be careful! Another said I took too long to ship, you can view the listing page and see I shipped it 12 hours after they paid and they waited 4 days to pay! 

    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.

If this were a report card, 4 STARS WOULD BE AN F!

    38" in length or 19" from clip to clasp
    Ultra Light Weight & One of a KIND!
    ~~~
    Oh wow, this is my new favorite favorite piece! These Mother of Pearls start off with a high luster of browns and then reflects pinks and plums! They don't look nearly as colorful or bright in the photos, but I promise you, this is one rich piece! Some are smooth and round while some are wild freeform diamond shapes. It seems the more the bumps & grooves the more zing you get, while the very smooth surfaces really turn pink! Be sure to zoom the photos to see the dark purple crystals that I added to add pop!

    Can't you imagine this with your tans, pinks, creams!

    Average sizes: 25mm = 1 inch

    • Peacock Freshwater Pearls = 5 to 7mm
    • Mother of Pearl = 16mm x 16mm and 10mm rounds (sizes vary)
    • AB Crystals = 8 x 3mm rondelles and 4mm bicones
    • Angel is made with = freeform MoP, crystal head and Bali gold wings with clear crystal rondelle halo, she has a Bali golden heart charm dangling below her.
    • HOPE ribbon and Flower charms.

    Throughout this piece I used Bali golden spacers, fancy bead caps, smooth round toggle clasp, tube style bail and lobster claw clip.

    This is the last I have of these peacock pearls until November IF I get to go to the gemshow this year, so get her while you can! She is lovely and should work with your wardrobe all year!

    ~~~

    This is 38" of high quality pearls & crystals. I am sure you will enjoy wearing this and being the classiest lady at your workplace! That's 19" from clip to clasp!!! Well sure, I can shorten it for you!

    I would love to create a bracelet and earrings for you to complete your look!

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 and 4 stars is low enough to be shut down! 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

     

    White Freshwater Pearls with AB Clear Swarovski Crystal
    Lanyard, ID Badge Holder or Necklace
    with Mini Angel & Heart Dangles

    ~~~

    38" in length or 19" from clip to clasp
    Lightweight & Lovely
    ~~~

    This lovely piece is made with beautiful white Freshwater Potato Pearls that have a nice lovely luster! Some have natural rings, some are smooth, some are just weird in shape but all are very pretty and have strong reflections of rainbow colors. The big and bold pearls range from 8 to 10mm and the small are 5 and 6mm. I also used 4mm AB clear Swarovski crystals every 7 beads to add a touch of sparkle and shine.

    Please listen. Pearls are drilled with much smaller holes than most gems so I had to reduce the size of my beading wire to accomidate these beauties. Yes, of course it is still going to serve you well and last for years and years but I want you to be just a little more careful when wearing this strand. Typically lanyards get tossed around, jerked and treated rougher than necklaces but this piece should be treated a little nicer. The wire I used is still much larger than most beaders use, you don't have to worry, it will not break.

    On your round ball Bali golden bail I attached your large lobster claw clip for your ID Badges, with a Bali golden triple connector where I hung a baby angel and 2 Bali golden hearts. The little angel has a teardrop shaped freshwater PEARL but her head is a glass pearl. She has glass wings and a Bali golden halo. Simply remove the lobster claw clip to wear as a necklace!

    Imagine wearing these pearls all year round! Pearls enhance all colors, are proper for any event and work beautifully in any season!

    Wouldn't a little stretch bracelet or dangle earring be just perfect? I would love to make them for you, just contact me via the contact seller link.

    This piece is finished off all the way around your neck with the same repeat pattern and has a gold plated "hook n eye" clasp for easy on - easy off!

    ~~~

    This is 38" of high quality pearls and crystals. I am sure you will enjoy wearing this and being the classiest lady at your workplace! That's 19" from clip to clasp!!!

    ~~~

    My lanyards are crimped 4 times for added security and the unsightly crimps are covered.A crimp cover is a split bead that I fold down around the crimp and pinch it together, leaving a barely noticable but unavoidable seam. This is not a broken or cheap bead. They are either gold plated or silver plated, depending on the metal used in your piece.

    ~~~

    If there is a coin in the photos it is so you can compare sizes and is not included with this piece.

    Also, I have put approximate sizes in the photos as well. Remember, one inch = 25mm

    ~~~

    This is strung on heavy duty yet flexible 21 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust or break! It won't break but if it does, but it won't, you are covered with KATHY'S EXTENDED KINDNESS WARRANTY!  Don't fret, my items don't break and I have decided again to stop repairing other beaders items. Please go back to where you bought your item to see if the seller will fix it for you. It is taking up too much of my time and does not pay the bills. Thanks for understanding.

    A word about Bali, Tibetan, German silver and/or gold. These types of metals 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. NO! You will NOT receive one item for each photo. lol, do you believe I have to put that in writing and waste all our time, just to cover my self.

    After a big struggle a fellow beading ebayer has lost her store because one buyer thought a crimp cover was a broken or plastic bead and left a Negative before even asking the seller about it!

    So 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.

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    ONE & ONLY

    Come and get it

    ~~~

    Flaming Red Coral, Deep Black Onyx, Sparkling Goldstone, Chocolate Coin Pearls & Dichroic Puddle Lampworks

    ID Badge Lanyard / Necklace

    19" from clip to clasp for a total of 38" (yep, I resize)

    This is an exceptional deal, both high quality items for one price!

    ~~~

    I love this piece but don't know what gem is the prettiest! The Red Coral are as bright and flaming red as they look, the Black Onyx is as shiny as glass, the Goldstone sparkles like mini diamonds on fire, the Chocolate Peacock Coin Pearls are LARGE and so fun in their odd shapes and the lampworks swirl with black, brown, olive green, white, reds, tiny white millefiori flowers and puddles of melted dichroic glass goo that is GORGEOUS! Don't forget the bright red Swarovski SIAM bicone crystals too!

    The lanyard has 20mm coin and a very cool matching 13 x 10mm tube lampworks while the bracelet has a pillow rectangle and flat squares to match.  I can resize the bracelet but be warned you will loose some of the beautiful beads. It fits me just fine at this 7.75" length but typically I wear a 7" because it is chunky, you will need the additional room.

    Yep, I could make you some earrings to wear with this set, just let me know your maximim length and if you need clip ons or pierced.

    On your Bali golden connector bail I dangled beads, gemstones and pearls with a Bali golden heart charm with your large lobster claw clip for your ID Badges, Keys or Whistle or simply remove it to wear this as a necklace. SURE!!! I will shorten it if you need.

    Through out this piece I used several styles of high quality Bali golden spacer beads, bead caps and hardware. Please note, you have matching Bali golden toggle clasps on both pieces.

    This piece is finished off with 6mm Goldstone & 7mm Red Jade rounds and has a fancy Bali golden toggle clasp and is crimped 4 times for added security. The unsightly crimps are covered with a gold plated, fold over crimp cover that does leave an unavoidable but barely noticeable seam.

    The actual sizes are shown inside of the photos. 25mm = 1 inch.

    ~~~

    Take a peak in my store for items to wear with this beauty or contact me to make you matching earrings and/or bracelet! Of course I combine shipping to save you money!

    All of my lanyards are strung on .024, 29 strand, cable wire that is coated so it will not rust or snag your clothing! The more strands a wire has; the more flexibility in the wire but this costs almost 2 times more so many people don't use it. Also, this wire is thick which is why I can not use those tiny seed beads as the wire doesn't fit inside their tiny holes. I believe that any wire that does fit inside a sead bead is not strong enough for the abuse that a lanyard takes on a daily basis. 

    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 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.

    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.
