    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!

    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 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.

    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.

  • red dog lanyard

    12:50 PM PST, 6/17/2010

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    Cute Cute Cute!

    Red & Brown Pups & Flowers

    Lanyard, ID Badge Holder or Necklace

    with Red Mt Jade, Crystals, Glass Pearls
    38" in length or 18" from S hook to toggle clasp

    Sure! I can resize this for you and yes I do combine items to save you money on shipping charges!

    To make this lanyard I used the sweetest 2 part, hand blown glass pups, lampwork pups & flowers to match, Red Mt Jades, 2 sizes of red crystals, bronze glass pearls and Swarovski AB topaz crystals mixed up with fancy Bali silver beads, VERY PRETTY bead caps & detailed hardware.

    The red glass pups are a two part glass bead with a total of 33mm tall and I used either a red and/or brown crystal rondelle as a collar. The head measures 25mm from ear to ear and is 14mm from top of the head to the chin. The body part measures 19mm x 14mm wide. They are long and lean with the cutest little tails, some have a white chest and/or white spot on their foreheads while they all have a darling & curious look on their faces with big Chihuahua ears and little white paws!

    The little lampwork pups are oh so cute too! They too are handmade measuring 15mm from their nose to their tail and are very sturdy. They are a little more "chubby" than are the red pups and their little faces are too cute! They have a tan base and swirls of darker tans to browns with a bright red tongue!

    The lampwork flowers have the same swirl design as the lampwork pups with a red center. I also used 12 and 8mm Czech crystals, 10mm bronze glass pearls, 4mm AB topaz Swarovski crystals and bright red 6mm Red Mt Jade to give you a lovely and fun piece to show your love for man's and woman's best friend!

    You have a Bali silver round, diamond cut toggle clasp for easy on - easy off.

    This colorful piece is finished off with 6mm Red Mountain Jade rounds and is crimped 4 times for added security. The unsightly crimps are covered with silver 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 that the wire that does fit is not heavy enough to for the abuse lanyards take.

    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!

    Blue & Gold Cloisonne,Teal Blue Jade & Swarovski Crystal

    Dangle Earrings

    Earrings - 2 1/2"

    Unique & ULTRA-light weight! And, YES, I can make you a coordinating bracelet if you wish! Or a necklace and/or lanyard!

    This set is absolutely gorgeous & unique.

    The earrings are crazy pretty! Dangling at the bottom is a nice large 25mm x 7mm thick Cloisonne poofy ring statement piece that wiggles and sways because they are so very light. I strung an 8mm Teal Blue Jade bead in the center. Above the Cloisonne ring I added beautiful sparkle with Swarovski Indicolite Blue 4mm and 8mm bicone crystals.

    They are on a gold toned, gold plated surgical steel lever back earwires, perfect for those with metal sensitivities!

    These will work with your whole wardrobe - for day or night wear!

    Cloisonne is a hand created bead by using very thin & light weight brass or metal that they shape, mold and paint or fill with enamel and ridges for the very detailed design. By welding the edges together they create a very lovely light weight bead. Hand created so while they are a matched set no 2 are exactly alike. These are bright and beautiful! I wish I could find more!

    Thank you for looking! Isn't eBay too much fun?!

    Dangle Earrings

    Earrings - 2 1/2"

    Unique & light weight! And, YES, I can make you a coordinating bracelet if you wish! Or a necklace and/or lanyard! But, I do not have enough of the smaller Turquoise discs to make another pair of earrings.

    This set is absolutely gorgeous, unique and full of movement because of their 3 tier style.

    The earrings are a triple tier dangle style with the top tier being 3 (dyed, rough & tumbled) Turquoise discs stacked between Bali golden daisy spacers, the 2nd tier a soft and smooth Picture Jasper rondelle hugged between Bali golden column style spacers and the bottom tier 3 dangles of dark teal blue firepolished faceted glass beads.

    They are on a gold toned, I believe plated surgical steel lever back earwires, perfect for those with metal sensitivities!

    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.

    GREEN QUARTZ FACETED GEMSTONE BRACELET

    Bracelet - 5.5 to 7.5" toggle clasp

    I didn't make this but I believe it to be well made and a must have for your spring, summer, fall & winter wardrobe!

    This unique bracelet is handmade. I purchased a few different colors over 2 years ago from Brazil and have not found the chance to wear it. I do not know what kind of silver it is made of but it hasn't tarnished and it is solid so for certain it is NOT not plated.

    It has 6 BRIGHT GREEN QUARTZ, faceted gemstones that are set down inside of baskets of silver then sitting in a north to south direction against the links that connect them. The connecting links & rings are welded for additional security. The large rings measure 18 x 14mm and are a solid tube ot 2mm thick. The connector oval links measure 9 x 5mm and are a solid piece of 1mm in thickness. I feel fairly certain that this bracelet is well made.

    Each setting measures 14 x 10 x 8mm thick with the gem sitting down in it like a basket. I do not know the exact size of the gemstone but I can guess at 13 x 9 x 6mm thick by measuring the thickness of the silver and subtracting it from the setting for the gem size. Not a good science but I think it is pretty close.

    There are 3 rings for your toggle stem so it is adjustable to fit almost everyone!

    I could make you some green crystal earrings to go with it!

    Please read and know what you are buying as I am not taking returns on this item and I can not repair it so I can not warranty it. Again: NO RETURNS on this item.

    I also have a purple bracelet like this, either garnet or amethyst I don't remember. I will have my helper dig it out and get it listed. If you are interested, please contact me and I will do it faster! :)

    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 or to read between the lines. The disclaimers below are 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.

    PURPLE Banded Agate Slice, Amethyst & Purple Crystal

    Bracelet & Earring Set

    Bracelet - 7.5" unstretched

    Earrings - 1 1/2"

    Ooooh Weeeeeee! First and foremost, this is purple, real rich purple, not mauve, not plum, not lilac or lavender. A rare color to find in gems and it can be all yours if you bid to win.

    The Purple Agate slice is smooth and has very determined stripes or bands and is oh so pretty! It has a section of crystal that sparkles but won't show in the photos, nice dark purple stripes, crisp white stripes that fade down to light purple stripes then back to dark rich royal purples! I have a couple more of these slices but none with these crisp stripes. The others I have are more solid purples if that is the look you like, just contact me!

    Look at photo #3 for how beautiful the African Amethyst is! A natural rock of gorgeous purple!

    This Agate slice is 40 x 17 x 6mm thick and will sit beautifully on your wrist while AB purple crystals, AB clear crystal rondelles & African Amethyst (10mm rounds) curve around your wrist with cute little Bali silver heart, mini-cross charm and Swarovski AB purple and purple crystals dangle & wiggle underneath your wrist!

    The earrings are made with a 14mm Purple Crystal, hugged in between 8mm AB crystal rondelles that sparkle and shine like nutz and 6mm Swarovski purple velvet bicone crystals! These are very light weight and are hung on a surgical steel french wire.

    Because of the nature of these beautiful gemstones, this is a one of a kind piece that will bring you years of wearing pleasure.

    Through out this piece I used Bali Silver spacers, caps and bail

    The bracelet is strung on .08 elastic cording that is so strong I took a 10" piece and stretched it as far as my arms could stretch and then I stuck my foot on it and pushed as far as my legs could and it didn't break.

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    This is one HOT & one of a kind item!

    ~~~

    HOT Pink Banded Agate 16mm FACETED Rounds, White Stick & Coin Pearl Lanyard / Necklace

    18" from clip to clasp for a total of 36" (yep, I resize)

    ~~~

    Oh wow! Hot hot hot!

    These banded pink agates PERFECT and nicely faceted! And they are huge gems at 16mm but surprisingly not very heavy. Banded means they are not a solid color but they have layers of a lighter pinks to the bright hot pink colors. I had to lighten the photos so you could see the bands better. They sparkle too because of they are faceted! They are stunning and a true mine find! To show off their incredible color I married them to white Coin and Biwa Stick Pearls, Pink & White Jade rounds and hot pink crackle glass rounds.

    Stick & Coin pearls are a real pearl and these are some of the best on the market. While the Biwa Sticks are ridged and bumpy which is so cool the Coin Pearls are smooth and lusterous! Zoom the photos to see their rainbow reflections in their beautiful nacre and just how perfect they are! The coin pearls are VERY expensive to use but they work so well with hot pinks! Because of their cost, this is the last of my stash so this is a ONE OF A KIND item.  

    On your Bali silver floral bail I hung a Pink Agate Angel and a white big clay rose. Dangling separately is 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 silver spacer beads, bead caps and hardware.

    This piece is finished off with 6mm Pink Jade rounds and has a fancy Bali silver heart & flower toggle clasp and is crimped 4 times for added security. The unsightly crimps are covered with a silver 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, which is perhaps why after over 2700 or more items made by me, less than 10 items have been returned for repairs! One lanyard was used as a tow rope by a grandchild and while it stretched pretty far before it popped with grandma was running as fast as she could, it did finally break! I repaired it at no expense to her because I got such a kick out of her story! 

    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!

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    Low Start Price so you girls can have fun bidding!

    Soft Pink & White Swirl Lampworks, Swirl Heart Angels, Swarovski Pink Alabaster Crystals & White Jade

    ID Badge Lanyard / Necklace

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

    ~~~

    I think you will love how pretty this is! I used nice big soft pink glass nuggets, 2 kinds of lampworks; a white rondelle with pink swirls and gold & pink swirl hearts as the angel bodies and mixed them up with LOTS of Swarovski pink rose and alabaster white & pink crystals! The angels are so cute with their white poofy dresses that have gold and pink swirls, their pink Cats Eye heads and Swarovski clear crystal halo's! (Your angel that dangles has a crystal head) This doesn't look like much in the photos but it is oh so pretty and quite spendy to make with all the high quality beads. You will love how classy and fun it is!

    On your Bali golden floral bail I made a lovely beaded tulip with a pink bellflower bead, green leaves and a crystal center, below it a beaded angel and below her a HOPE ribbon charm. Dangling separately is 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.

    This piece is finished off with 6mm White 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.

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.

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    Breast Cancer Awareness Lanyard with HOPE & Angel Charms

    Low Start Price so you girls can have fun bidding!

    ~~~

    Dark Pink Cats Eye Hearts, White Lampworks with Pink Ribbons & Flowers, Swarovski White & Rose Crystals

    ID Badge Lanyard / Necklace

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

    As much as I hate the effects of this disease, I love working with the feminine pinks that show our support at a time when our loved ones need us most. Please! Perform self exams & get your mammograms!

    I think you will love these rare and hard to find 20mm dark pink Cats Eye hearts and 12mm round CE beads! I splattered whites through out this piece with a 13mm glass lentils with the pink ribbon on both sides and little bumps on the edges (like lights on a marquise sign), white based lampworks with raised pink cabbage style roses and green swirly foliage and the oodles of Swarovski rondelle & bicone crystals in Alabaster White. I also used Swarovski Rose Pink crystals that really make this piece sparkle!

    On your Bali golden floral bail I hung a beaded angel made with a 16 x 12mm Cats Eye teardrop body, an 8mm round Cats Eye head, Swarovski Clear Crystal Rondelle Halo and below the angel a Bali Gold Heart Charm. I also hung a lampwork, a pink ribbon lentil, crystals and a HOPE Ribbon Charm and an Angel Charm that on the back of her says "made for an angel". After the photos I attached a lanyard 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.

    This piece is finished off with 4mm Cats Eye rounds at the back of your neck, a fancy heart 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.

    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, which is perhaps why after over 2700 or more items made by me, less than 10 items have been returned for repairs! One lanyard was used as a tow rope by a grandchild and while it stretched pretty far before it popped with grandma was running as fast as she could, it did finally break! I repaired it at no expense to her because I got such a kick out of her story! 

    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!
