    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    "Oh So Girly"

    SOFT PINK FRESHWATER PEARLS, WHITE COIN PEARLS, PINK & SILVER HEARTS & AB PINK CRYSTAL

    LANYARD AND/OR NECKLACE

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

    ~~~

    I think you will love how soft & feminine this lanyard is! The photos really show the pearls a brighter pink then they are and wash out the pink in the crystals! These freshwater potato pearls are really quite nice with a smooth surface and a very nice shine!

    BUT, it is the 10 BIG, 12mm white coin pearls that really make a statement here! They are white with gorgeous nacre that reflects soft rainbow colors!  These are not cheap little pearls and you will see when when you hold this in your hand! They are down right gorgeous.

    I also used nice big 22mm Bali Silver & Soft Pink Glass Hearts that are poofy and beautiful next to the many shaped crystals! In pink crystals I used: 12mm x 8mm rondelles with AB finish, 10mm bicones, 10 x 7mm lentils and 8 x 5mm rondelles. On your floral bail I hung a white with pink center ceramic rose, a white Murano glass heart, a glass window heart, a Bali silver heart charm and your 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 the freshwater pearls 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 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 more coordinating pieces to wear with this beauty! 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!

    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.

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    Picasso & Red Jaspers with Crystal Lanyard / Necklace with

    dangle earrings and

    !!! 2 1/2" Beautiful Picasso Gemstone Pendant !!!

    Lanyard and Earring Set

    ~ 36"  or 18" from lobster claw clip to toggle clasp

    plus 2" for pendant

    ~~~

    This set should work beautifully with your fall & winter wardrobe!

    I used several sizes of Picasso Jasper round and rondelle beads and then popped the barn red brown tones with Red Jasper rondelles! Please notice the 18 x 7mm; BIG Citrine Swarovski crystals down by the Picasso Pendant, these are large & gorgeous as are the Olive Green 6mm Swarovski crystals smattered through out the strand. I also used olive & root beer brown, 21mm square glass crystals to give you some sparkle.

    I believe you will be especially proud to strut this 2 1/2" pendant! It is beautifully marked all the way around it as you will see in the photos how it flows from a lovely olive green to warm brown tones in one rock! I wish I had rocks like this in my yard! The built-in bail is a polished smooth Bali Silver with cut-out leaves and vines that flow all the way around the cap. I attached it via jump ring so you can remove it to wear on a leather cord or silver chain! I love multi-functionable jewelry! The lobster claw clip is also attached with a jump ring so you can simply remove it to wear this as a necklace.

    AND Yes! I will shorten it for you if needed!

    The earrings hang a perfect length of 2 1/2" with a square glass crystal and a 6mm Swarovski bicone crystal dangling below it. They are on french wires that I bought as .925 silver but they are not stamped as such. I do trust the gal I buy these from and if she says they are silver, I believe her. I have many gals that can't wear anything but silver or surgical steel and they can wear these without any sensitivity problems.

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

    Through out this strand I used many fancy styles of Bali silver bead caps, spacers & hardware. The only plated metal in this set is the crimp covers.

    This lanyard is finished off all the way around your neck with 6mm faceted olive green fire polished glass beads alternating with 6mm Bali silver crowns and has a Bali silver HEART shaped toggle clasp for easy on - easy off. It is crimped 4 times for added security & the unsightly crimps are covered with plated crimp covers. A crimp cover does leave a unavoidable but barely noticeable seam.

    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.

    Beautiful Reflective & Colorful Set

    Deep Dark Navy Blues, Teals, AB Purples & Gray

    Eyeglass Chain & Bracelet Set

    Eyeglass Chain 29" 

    Bracelet 7.5"  stretch

    with 3 dangles

    Wouldn't a pair of earrings be perfect for this set! Just let me know and/or look in my store!

    ~~~

    This set is made with BEAUTIFUL deep navy blue sculptured pearls in a nice large but light weight 10mm, Gray Glass Pearls, BIG 8mm Swarovski Bicone Teal Crystals and oodles of 4mm Swarovski AB purple, AB blue & teal crystals. There is also 4mm gray glass pearls and Bali silver spacers through out this set. These AB crystals reflect like wild! The color is rich and deep, so romantic and should be just lovely sparkling from besides your cheeks and laying at the back of your neckline!

    On your matching stretch bracelet I hung a Bali 8mm silver poofy heart, a 12mm pansy and an 11mm star charm with purple and blue crystals. SURE!!! I can resize this bracelet if you need.

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

    The eyeglass chain is strung on .021, 19strand cable wire so it is very strong and flexible. It is coated so it will not rust or snag your clothing. I used crimps to secure your piece and covered the unsightly crimps with a crimp cover that leaves an unavoidable but barely noticeable seam. Please see in the photos. If these seams bother you, please do not purchase my items as I use them always for the smooth professional look and to protect your clothing against snagging.

    This bracelet is strung on .08, elastic cording that is VERY STRONG! I took one 10 inch piece stretch it as far as my arms can go and then put my foot in it and stretch it further and it doesn't break!!! I have NEVER had a bracelet break with this super cording!

    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.

    AB Navy, Purples & Gray, AB Smoky Crystal Quartz

    !!! Bling ~ Splash ~ Sparkle !!!

    Lanyard and Angel Dangle Set

    ~ 36"  or 18" from lanyard clip to toggle clasp

    Dangle is about 4" long

    ~~~

    This lanyard has 2 absolutely BEAUTIFUL and large (almost 1" long) AB Smoky Crystal Quartz faceted ovals that have incredible reflections of purples, blues, pinks on a grayish silver background that doesn't show up in the photos very well but I assure you, THEY ARE WILD WITH COLOR! To bring out their astounding beauty I also used AB crystals of navy blue that reflect crazy teal & turquoise blues and deep dark purple AB crystals that reflect purples & pinks. I also used dark romantic gray glass pearls and dark navy blue sculptured glass pearls that reflect with movement so with all the reflections going on in this strand, it will really show up against anything you wear!

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

    Through out this strand I used many fancy styles of Bali silver bead caps, spacers & hardware. The only plated metal in this set is the crimp covers.

    I also made you a little dangle to hang from your purse, in your car or on your keys. I made a beaded angel by using a gray 13 x 9mm teardrop glass pearl, a gray glass head, spinning Bali silver wings and an AB clear crystal halo. Above and below her I hung the navy AB crystals for sparkle and shine! It is about 4" long and will attach with a nice large lobster claw clip.

    On your Bali silver floral bail I wired many crystals with your large lobster claw clip for your ID Badges.

    This lanyard is finished off all the way around your neck with 4mm Crystals and has a Bali silver HEART shaped toggle clasp for easy on - easy off. It is crimped 4 times for added security & the unsightly crimps are covered with plated crimp covers. A crimp cover does leave a unavoidable but barely noticeable seam.

    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

     

    Moonstone, Blue Agate & Copper

    Beaded Lanyard or Necklace

    17" beaded strand plus 2" Moonstone & Copper Frame Pendant (lanyard clip hangs behind the pendant)
    ~~~

    One of a kind! Fun to make, lovely to wear! This is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Cost of wear? At the BIN price it is just 9 cents per day at one year of wear. I am sure you will wear this for more than a year!

    To make this lanyard I used milky white Moonstone coin beads & rondelles that will take on the colors next and/or behind them so if you wear blue they will tint with blue, lavender will sparkle with a hint of lavender, etc. I wanted to play with the natural bit of blues in Moonstone so I used Blue Agate oval gemstones, Blue Jade rounds and Blue, Copper & White Wedding Cake Lampworks. Because this crazy pretty and large 32mm pendant is framed in copper; I used copper hearts, lanterns, daisy beads and bead caps.

    Simply remove the lobster claw clip to wear this as a gorgeous, very vintage looking, one of a kind necklace!

      This piece is finished off at the back of your neck with 6mm Blue Jade rounds and has a copper heart toggle clasp for easy on - easy off! It is
    crimped 4 times for additional security. The unsightly crimps are covered with plated crimp covers.

    SURE! I can make this a little longer for you at the ending cost per inch price. No charges to shorten!

    This is a one of a kind piece because copper is just too expensive for me to play with. Gee whiz, silver & gold have tripled and copper is almost quadruple in price! 

    I have decided what to do about my pain delimna. I am going to bead as much as I can afford physically & financially using the product I have on hand and when it is gone; I will stop beading. Dang it, there goes my dreams of selling my wares on QVC! Oh well, you girls make me feel pretty special, who needs fame and fortune!

    Estimate sizes are shown inside the photos: 25mm = 1 inch

    ~~~

    All of my lanyards are strung on 0.24, 29 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust or snag your clothing! This is the strongest wire available and yet it is pretty flexible. Because this wire is larger around, it doesn't fit inside of tiny little seed beads, thus raising the cost of my larger beads and my heavier wire costs A LOT more than thin so I have to sell at a higher price. I believe the additional expense is more important than saving money on smaller wire that breaks so easily. If you are considering a lanyard with seed beads; I am fairly certain the wire is pretty flimsy and will most likely pop under torque.

    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!

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    Turquoise Nuggets, Crystals & Copper

    Beaded Lanyard or Necklace AND EARRINGS!!!

    15" beaded strand plus 2.5" (1" copper leaf bail & 1.5" dangles)
    ~~~

    One of a kind! Fun to make, lovely to wear! This is so beautiful on! Cost of wear? One year at the BIN price is 10 cents per day and only 1.26 per inch which is VERY cheap for this quality piece!

    To make this lanyard I used beautifully tumbled Turquoise nuggets, Swarovski "emerald green" crystals and copper swirl, lantern and saucer beads. The sizes are shown inside the photos but a general idea is the nuggets average in size from a nice big 10mm to 15mm, the copper swirls are 2 sizes at 15mm and 10mm and the Swarovski crystals are a 6mm bicones and a 12mm rondelle crystals.

    The angel has a glass bead head on an odd shaped Turquoise nugget body, if you think she is goofy looking I can remove her.

    Simply remove the blue split ring to wear this as a necklace and if we remove the split ring, I can make it into a key chain for you, just let me know!

    The earrings are on a surgical steel fish hook that have decorative copper balls & coils that will not touch your skin. They hang 2.25" with one copper coil bead and one Turquoise nugget. The earring nuggets seem a little lighter in color when I look at the them very closely therefore I may change the dangle nuggets. They will remain lovely & the same just a better nugget color match. They are light weight and wiggle!

      This piece is finished off at the back of your neck and has a copper heart toggle clasp for easy on - easy off! It is
    crimped 4 times for additional security. The unsightly crimps are covered with plated crimp covers.

    SURE! I can make this a little longer for you at the ending cost per inch price. No charges to shorten!

    This is a one of a kind set as I can't seem to find where I bought these beautiful nuggets and copper is just too expensive to continue using. Gee whiz, silver & gold have tripled and copper is almost quadruple in price! 

    I have decided what to do about my pain delimna. I am going to bead as much as I can afford physically & financially using the product I have on hand and when it is gone; I will stop beading. Dang it, there goes my dreams of selling my wares on QVC! Oh well, you girls make me feel pretty special, who needs fame and fortune!

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    Purple Dragonfly Key Chain

    4 Dragonflies!

    4" total length

    This is so pretty! The large dragonfly has faceted glass wings of AB Purples with sparkles, a 6mm rhinestone head, 2mm pink rhinestones for her eyes and a curved body of silver. I don't know what kind of silver she is made with, there is no stamping on her. She measures 42mm across her wingspan and is so very pretty!

    I created a 35mm long dragonfly with Bali silver wings, an 8mm Lavender Jade head and Swarovski 4 and 6mm bicone crystals, Iris wafer and one 3mm Czech crystal. Below this beaded dragonfly I hung a baby Bali silver dragonfly about 7mm across her wings. Above her I hung a nice bright African Amethyst 8mm round gem and Swarovski AB bicone crystals in purple that are OH SO PRETTY!!!

    Also there is one Bali silver dragonfly charm that measures 24mm wingspan above her a beaded section that has a Mother of Pearl wafer and AB crystals.

    These are all attached to a heavy duty silvertone heart shaped split ring that measures 32mm with 10mm twisted silvertone split rings. The heart is a strong split ring; surely to last a lifetime!

    This is a one of a kind piece.

    Purple, Lavenders & Moonstone

    Beaded Lanyard or Necklace with Angels, Amethyst Rose & Heart Charms
    19" from bail to toggle clasp for a total of 38"

    LIGHT WEIGHT AND OH SO COLORFUL

    Sure, I can resize this for you!

    Start price is just the cost of to make it and ebay fees so that I might recoup some funds to pay my medical insurance next month.

    To make this lanyard I used several gems from light & bright lavender jade to deep dark African Amethyst to Mother of Pearl carved flowers and light lavender teardrop shaped crystals for the angel bodies. I love these MoP flowers and for leaves I used flat oval Moonstones, a creamy white that takes on a hint of the color next to it, so these have a lovely hint of purples. For a bright sparkle I used large twisted glass nuggets in a bright lavender color that works beautifully with the Lilac Swarovski bicone crystals. Also, check out the new Swarovski twisted crystals that have a crazy pretty AB finish that reflect dark purples like little mirrors! These crystals cost way too much money but when you see how much they sparkle and shine, you'll agree it is well worth the price! They are so much fun to play with!

    Check out the hand carved Amethyst rose I hung on your bail! I also hung a beaded crystal angel that sports a Swarovski clear crystal halo, dangles with beads, gems & crystals, your large lobster claw clip and 3 Bali silver heart charms!

    Simply remove the lobster claw clip to wear as a long trendy necklace. This piece is finished off at the back of your neck with genuine 4mm round Moonstones and has a Bali silver toggle clasp for easy on - easy off! It is
    crimped 4 times for additional security. The unsightly crimps are covered with plated crimp covers.

    This is a one of a kind set as I just can't make another at this time.

    Estimate sizes are shown inside the photos: 25mm = 1 inch

    Bali silver bead caps, columns, saucers, daisies, toggle clasp & bail

    Silver plated 6mm crimp bead covers

    All of my lanyards are strung on 0.24, 29 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust or snag your clothing! This is the strongest wire available and yet it is pretty flexible.

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    Genuine AMBER Necklace, Bracelet, Earrings & Key Chain Set

    Necklace: 27.5" with Amber Twist Style Clasp

    Bracelet: 7 to 7.5" Stretch

    Earrings: 2.25"

    Key Chain: 4"

    LIGHT WEIGHT & FULL OF ATTITUDE!

    Did you know Amber is petrified pitch! Millions of years old and very light weight, very colorful and smooth to the touch! And as typical, this set is much prettier than the photos show!

    I bought this incredible necklace to tear apart but it is just too pretty and well made for me to cut it up! It has poof or thickness as the stars graduate from 49mm down to just 32mm up at the collar bone area with 12mm Amber rounds against  and at the back of your neck for a smooth soft finish. The stars lay atop of each other with a 6mm Amber round bead separating each one. They are drilled just right so that they lay on a slant against your body and really show off their incredible color and bubbles that catch the light and sparkle like millions of little diamonds! The stars are not sharp or pokey! They are just beautiful and would look so nice with a summer dress or under a neutral blazer. It has a very cool 1" long AMBER screw or twist type clasp to easy secure it.

    I created the stretch bracelet with the same color tones of Ambers in both 8 and 12mm rounds. It will easily fit from 6.5 to 7.5" wrists. Sure, I can resize it to fit you!

    The earrings also have the same Amber rounds in 10 and 12mm and hang just 2 1/4" from a surgical steel hinged lever back ear wire. I can swap them over to silver if you wish as this is the only real metal that shows in this set. Remember, they are VERY very light weight!

    The key chain is made with Amber of the same colors but I added a nice big pillow gem of dark brown Amber and 3 - AB topaz crystals that dangle at the bottom. The large 32mm heart shaped split ring is heavy duty and perfect to use for your keys! The overall length is just 4".

    I did not make the necklace but I am sure it is very well made and because Amber is naturally lightweight that although it has a lot of splash to it, it won't be heavy to wear! This is one of a kind and crazy beautiful!!!

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    Spring Happens! Pinks & Purples

    Beaded Lanyard or Necklace with Enamel Flower Pendant

    AND MATCHING EARRINGS!!!

    19" from bail to toggle clasp for a total of 38"

    MEDIUM WEIGHT AND OH SO COLORFUL

    Sure, I can resize this for you!

    Start price is just the cost of to make it and ebay fees so that I might recoup some funds to pay my medical insurance next month.

    To make this lanyard I used the prettiest handmade pillow beads that are covered with flowers against a dark pink fuchsia background. Beaded tulips, purple CRYSTAL butterflies and very cool AB purple crystals really sparkle in this piece! I also used Lavender Jades, Pink Agates and Mother of Pearl Purple rounds with crazy pretty AB Swarovski crystals that reflect with blues, purples and turquoise reflections against purple and fuchsia ruby backgrounds! These crystals cost way too much money but when you see how much they sparkle and shine, you'll agree it is well worth the price! They are so much fun to play with!

    Please notice that I used LARGE 8mm bicone ROSE Swarovski crystals in this set, 4 times the money so you will have big bling!

    The earrings are made with one 8mm Lavender Jade round gem, 6mm Tanzanite, 4mm AB pink & 8mm Rose Swarovski crystals. They hang just 2" from a .925 silver fish hook.

    On your floral bail I dangled a big and and beautiful bright purple enamel flower pendant that has a cluster of AB pink rhinestones in the center. It's petals bend and turn just like a flower with a high luster shine of silver on the tips. It is high quality and so very pretty!  I also hung a large, heart lobster claw clip for your ID Badges, whistles, keys etc. Simply remove the clip to wear as a long trendy necklace. You have a Bali silver toggle clasp for easy on - easy off!

    This is a one of a kind set as I just can't make another at this time.

    Estimate sizes are shown inside the photos: 25mm = 1 inch

    Bali silver bead caps, columns, saucers, daisies, toggle clasp & bail

    Silver plated 6mm crimp bead covers

    ~~~

    This piece is finished off with 6mm Mother of Pearl round beads and is crimped 4 times for additional security. The unsightly crimps are covered with plated crimp covers.

    ~~~

    I am considering that it is beading that is keeping me in unbareable pain so I might have to to stop beading soon. Most likely it is the photos, listings and mailing is just too much but I can't keep my beaded items so I have to sell so I am stuck with a horrible decision. And yet to sell my over 8000 beads, findings etc. I would have to photograph each set and that too sounds like a painful job too! So, I haven't really decided yet mostly because of how much I will miss all of you! This decision is too hard to make and breaks my heart... into a zillion pieces

    ~~~

    All of my lanyards are strung on 0.24, 29 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust or snag your clothing! This is the strongest wire available and yet it is pretty flexible. Because this wire is larger around, it doesn't fit inside of tiny little seed beads, thus raising the cost of my larger beads and my heavier wire costs A LOT more than thin so I have to sell at a higher price. I believe the additional expense is more important than saving money on smaller wire that breaks so easily. If you are considering a lanyard with seed beads; I am fairly certain the wire is pretty flimsy and will most likely pop under torque.
