    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry ~~~ Visit My eBay Store ~~~ 2 piece set! Double Strand Necklace & Bracelet Genuine Gemstones! Pink Chalcedony, Ruby Quartz, Lampworks & Pink Cats Eyes Hand carved Pink Turquoise Roses Necklace: 22" (2nd strand 15") Stretch Bracelet 7.5 to 7.75" There are pink earrings in my store or I could create some for you. I think a simple dangle would be perfect with this lovely piece. The necklace and bracelet are made with the same gemstones and beads with Pink Chalcedony, Pink Agate, Faceted Ruby Quartz and Pink Cats Eye rounds with GENUINE Pink Turquoise Carved Roses! The lampworks have sweet little roses on a white background for a nice vintage look while the pinks are mutted they are rich in color! The necklace has a Bali silver rose style toggle clasp for easy on easy off and Bali silver 2 to 1 floral strand connectors so you have just one strand at the back of your neck. I think you could use a torsade clip (or safety pin) to connect the single strands from bead to bead to shorten this to choker length or any length you wish and let the extra drape gently down your back! Estimate sizes are also shown inside of the photos: 25mm = 1" The necklace is strung on .21, 15 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not snag or rust. This is heavy duty wire, surely to last you years and years! It is crimped with the crimps covered with a split bead that does leave an unavoidable but small seam on the covers. The bracelet is strung on .08mm elastic cording, super strong! I could stretch a 10" piece as far as my arms can stretch, then stick my foot in it and push even further and this elastic doesn't break! ~~~ 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 not cover my costs. Thanks for understanding. Visit My eBay Store for more hot new looks! ~~~ 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?

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 5 star rating program in Ebay regarding stars for sellers. A seller is removed if they average 4.2 stars and charged more for 4.8 or less. 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. Did I mention how much I love my customers? Well, I do!

  • cloisonne horse head lanyard

    5:31 PM PST, 11/15/2010

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry ~~~ Visit My eBay Store ~~~ Poofy Cloisonne Horse Heads, Carnelian, Garnet & Crystal ID Badge Lanyard and/or Necklace with Running Horse Charm 17" from toggle clasp to lanyard clip or 34" beaded strand and sure I can shorten it for you! Medium Chunky weight THIS is my favorite! It can work all year long! Imagine this against white, ivory or tans! I think you will love the blend of rich, faceted Carnelian, deep dark Garnet rounds, Ruby Quartz, Plum & Burnt Orange Crystals and these elegant high quality Cloisonne Horse Heads! The plum is so dark it looks a bit like brown, I had to lighten the photos a little so you could see the plum tones. These Carnelian are faceted so even tho they are opaque gemstones, now they have their own sparkle! This is one rich piece! I hope you love it as much as I do! A Cloisonne (cloySonA) bead is made by welding brass pieces together and designed with enamel. These are exceptional in design and beauty! To make this piece I used: 25mm = 1 inch * 14mm Genuine Carnelian Faceted Rounds * 8mm Garnet Rounds * 12 x 8mm Plum Czech Crystal Rondelles * 12 x 8mm Czech Crystal Ovals * 6 x 4mm Czech Crystal Rondelles * 8mm Ruby Quartz Rounds * 32mm Cloisonne Horse Heads Several styles of Bali gold beads are smattered through out this piece, lacy & ornate bead caps, rope style round toggle clasp, tube bail, lobster claw clip and stamped running horse charm. This piece is finished off all the way around your neck with GENUINE 8mm Garnet rounds; perfect if your hair is short or in an up do. And as typical, these photos don't really show how stunning this strand is! I have came to the conclusion that I made these lanyards how I would wear them regardless of the cost factor and hope you realize this isn't made with junk or fillers. These horse beads are stupid expensive but so worth it! This lanyard should last you a life time! This was a fairly expensive to make & you can wear it proudly with assurance that it will not fall apart! Estimate sizes are shown inside of the photos: 25mm = 1" 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 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 ~~~ My lanyards are strung on heavy duty, thick yet flexible 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.
