    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    Carnelian, Smoky Quartz & Dragon Skin

    Lanyard, ID Badge Holder or Necklace

    with Murano Glass Teardrop Pendant

    38" in length or 19" from clip to clasp

    Chunky ~ Medium Weight

    ~~~

    To make this lanyard I used high quality, very smooth and absolutely beautiful Carnelian, Romantic Smoky Quartz, very colorful Banded Carnelian, oh so cool faceted Dragon Skin & sparkly Crystals!

    This is a OOAK piece because as with all God made gems, no 2 will ever be the same. Also, I only have one of these very cool flower teardrops, so this is your only chance to win this stunning piece!

    Sizes: 25mm = 1"

    • Carnelian slices: 34 x 20 x 5mm thick
    • Carnelian rounds: 6mm
    • Banded Carnelian ovals: 12 x 10mm
    • Smoky Quartz rectangles: 12 x 8 x 4mm
    • Dragon Skin rounds: 8mm
    • Czeck Crystal lentils: 10mm
    • Swarovski AB crystal rondelles: 6 x 3mm
    • Murano Glass teardrop pendant: 47 x 25mm

    Bali gold saucers, bead caps, bail and heart toggle clasp.

    Gold plated 5mm crimp bead covers

    18mm Gold toned lobster claw clasp.

    Your badge clip is attached to a Bali golden bail where I also attached the teardrop pendant.

    I used a fancy Bali gold heart toggle clasp for easy on - easy off.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Please, contact me if you are unhappy and give me the chance to make you happy and satisfied. If something has gone wrong, it was completely accidental. I promise to NEVER lie, cheat or steal from you.

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

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

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    ONE AND ONLY!

    Rich Warm Brilliant Browns, Tans & Topaz

    Lanyard or Necklace with Bali Silvers

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

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

    ~~~

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ONE AND ONLY!

     

    Soft Greens, Warm Browns, Lampwork

    Lanyard or Necklace

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

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

    ~~~

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

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

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

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

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

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    ONE AND ONLY! Gorgeous, Natural & Classy

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

    Lanyard or Necklace

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

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

    ~~~

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

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

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

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

    • White Lampworks = 16mm barrels

    • Mother of Pearl = Peach Diamond shaped 20mm

    • Mother of Pearl = White 7 x 3mm rondelles

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

    Gold Plated = 5mm crimp covers

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

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

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

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

      Please zoom the photos for more viewing pleasures!

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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.

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...

    5:57 PM PST, 4/24/2010

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    ONE AND ONLY!

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

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

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

    As per HSN:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ~~~

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

    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.

  • Turquoise, Picture Jasper eyeglass chain

    1:32 PM PST, 4/24/2010

    Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    ONE AND ONLY! Gorgeous, Natural & Classy

    Picture Jasper, BRIGHT Turquoise Discs, Capri Blue Jade & Soft Tan Wooden Wafers

    Eyeglass Chain

    32" in length with Ball & Elastic Stem Connectors

    Ultra Light weight! One of a KIND!!!

    ~~~

    Oh my goodness, LOOK AT THESE BEAUTIFUL GOD MADE ROCKS! The Picture Jaspers are natural, no dyes or alterations. Being that the Turquoise discs are so bright and a color I have never seen before; I believe the Turquoise has been dyed. BUT, I broke one and it is the same color all the way through the rock and I could not rub off any color with several chemicals, so I don't know. Questioning the seller whom I trust 100% assured me that they are "genuine and untreated Turquoise".  

    To make this very pretty eyeglass chain I used soft and smooth Picture Jasper 6mm rounds, 10 to 12 random size Turquoise Discs, rare Capri Blue Jae 8mm rounds, 4mm Capri Blue Crystals and wooden wafers that range from light tan to dark tan that match the Picture Jasper quite nicely and enhance this gorgeous piece of tan and blues. The Turquoise discs have a lacy edge which really make them rustic looking which works quite nicely with the wooden wafers!

      Through out this piece I used several styles of ornate Bali golden saucers and barrel spacers. Please realize that the cost of gold effects all golds; even a Bali gold with much lower amounts of gold in the bead but none the less; the prices have doubled from 2 years ago with the price of gold going up more each day.

    This is a OOAK because I do not have and can not buy any more of these incredibly crazy blue Turquoise discs. There is a lanyard in my store similar to this eyeglass chain that is sold separately.

    I do have enough Turquoise left to make a pair of earrings! Wouldn't that be lovely!

    Actual bead sizes are shown in the photos. Please zoom the photos for more viewing pleasures!

    This piece is finished off all the way around your neck with the same gorgeous beads, a full 32" of wow and is crimped 2 times for added security.

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

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

    All of my eyeglass chains are are strung on 21 strand cable wire that is coated in a nice blue so it will not rust or snag your clothing! This is a flexible and heavy wire. 

    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!

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

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    ONE AND ONLY! Gorgeous, Natural & Classy

    Picture Jasper, BRIGHT Turquoise Discs, Capri Blue Jade & Soft Tan Wooden Wafers

    Lanyard or Necklace

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

    Light weight! One of a KIND!!!

    ~~~

    I put in quite a few photos so you can see beautiful God made rocks! The Picture Jaspers are natural, no dyes or alterations. Being that the Turquoise discs are so bright and because I have never seen this color before, I believe the Turquoise has been dyed. BUT, I broke one and it is the same color all the way through the rock and I could not rub off any color with several chemicals, so I don't know. Questioning the seller whom I trust 100% assured me that they are "genuine and untreated Turquoise".  

    To make this very pretty lanyard or necklace, I used soft and smooth Picture Jasper in coins and rounds that have incredible markings that you will be proud to wear!  I promise you, these Turquoise Discs are a color like no other! You will love them! They are a random size from 10 to 13mm with a lacy edge. The Capri Blue Jades are 8mm rounds and are also a rare color to find. To give it one more pop of blue I used 3 - 20mm flat square blue crystals that have a very cool faceting that makes these crystals ZING! To lighten the load I used the wooden wafers that range from light tan to dark tan that match the Picture Jasper quite nicely and enhance this gorgeous piece of tan and blues.

      Through out this piece I used several styles of ornate Bali golden diamond shaped beads, daisies, saucers and barrel spacers. Please realize that the cost of gold effects all golds; even a Bali gold with much lower amounts of gold in the bead but none the less; the prices have doubled from 2 years ago with the price of gold going up more each day.

    This is a OOAK because I do not have and can not buy any more of these incredibly crazy blue Turquoise discs. There is an eyeglass chain in my store similar to this lanyard / necklace, sold separately.

    Dangling from your Bali gold bail I hung a Beaded Crystal Dangle with your nice bright golden lobster claw clip which you can easily remove to wear as a necklace!

    Actual bead sizes are shown in the photos. Please zoom the photos for more viewing pleasures!

    This piece is finished off all the way around your neck with the same gorgeous beads, a full 38" of wow! It has a gold plated Hook N Eye clip for easy on - easy off and is crimped 4 times for added security.

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

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

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

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

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

    Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry

     

    ONE AND ONLY! Gorgeous, Natural & Classy

    Brown Jasper Gemstone Butterfly

    Lanyard or Necklace with Butterfly Charms

    AND a purse charm just for fun!

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

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

    ~~~

    I put in quite a few photos so you can see beautiful God made rocks! These are natural, no dyes or alterations. They were shaped and smoothed and wa ~ la, gorgeous!

    To make this very pretty lanyard or necklace, I used a brown Jasper in several shades of light to rich dark brown in both round and rondelle shapes. There is also 2 hand carved Brown Butterfly beads and Bali golden butterflies. This 38" is all gemstones and Bali gold, no fillers, glass, crystals or cheap beads!

      Through out this piece I used several styles of ornate Bali golden diamond shaped beads, daisies, saucers, barrel spacers and bead caps. Please realize that the cost of gold effects all golds; even a Bali gold with much lower amounts of gold in the bead but none the less; the prices have doubled from 2 years ago with the price of gold going up more each day.

    This is a OOAK because I do not have and can not buy any more of these incredibly pretty brown butterflies.

    Dangling from your Bali gold bail I hung a 5 butterfly charms that give off a sweet little tinkle sound when you wiggle. I have also given you a nice bright golden lobster claw clip which you can easily remove to wear as a necklace!

    Actual bead sizes are shown in the photos. Please zoom the photos for more viewing pleasures!

    This piece is finished off all the way around your neck with rich dark brown/reddish Jasper, 6mm rounds. It has a Bali golden rope style round toggle clasp for easy on - easy off and is crimped 4 times for added security.

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

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

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

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

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

    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

     

    ONE AND ONLY! Gorgeous, Natural & Classy

    Olive Green & Browns Landscape Jasper with Carved Smokey Green Butterflies

    Lanyard or Necklace

    35" in length or 17.5" from clip to toggle clasp

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

    ~~~

    Lots of photos so you can see how beautiful these God made rocks are! These are natural, no dyes or alterations. They were shaped and smoothed and wa ~ la, gorgeous!

    To make this very pretty lanyard or necklace, I used Landscape Jaspers in several shapes and sizes. A couple of power pieces are the carved smokey Green Butterflies and the large rondelles that have both olive green and brick red browns in them! There are also 10mm rounds that are almost all olive green and some 8mm rounds that are mostly browns. Some have both colors, some are brown, tan, brick red and green with black matrix. These are as striking and pretty or prettier than the photos show!

      Through out this piece I used several styles of ornate Bali golden spacers and bead caps.

    This is a OOAK because I do not have and can not buy any more of these smokey green butterflies.

    Dangling from your floral bail I hung a few beaded dangles and attached a lanyard clip after the photos.  Simply remove the clip to wear as a necklace!

    Actual bead sizes are shown in the photos. Please zoom the photos for more viewing pleasures!

    This piece is finished off all the way around your neck with 6mm round Landscape Jasper beads, has a Bali golden rope style round toggle clasp for easy on - easy off and is crimped 4 times for added security.

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

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

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

    You don't have to read all this legal stuff, it is only here to protect me and NOT to hide anything between the lines. After one person challenged me to receive "one key chain for each photo in the listing" I realize that not all buyers are playing fairly. If this does not include you, you don't have to read all this boring and time wasting notices.

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

    A crimp bead cover is a split bead that folds down and around the crimp bead simply to make it look prettier. It does leave an unavoidable seam that is slightly noticeable. They are a plated metal bead, either gold or silver plated.

    Resizing UP might cost a little extra for additional beads and wires depending on how much larger you need. If it is just a few beads, then it is free but if you wish to go up 2 or more inches, there will be a cost involved. I do not charge labor for resizing.

    Kathy's Extended Kindness Warranty! My items do not break but if they do, which they won't but if they do; ahhhh,  we could do this all day!!! If they do, I will repair them at ZERO COST TO YOU! I even pay shipping both ways that is how sure I am of my product. Just let me know so I can send you a SASE and please tie the strands off so the beads remain strung so I can recreate the same pattern. Sometimes a lanyard is too long and might get hung up on a door knob, once a little grandson used grandma's lanyard as a tow rope and one time a metal bead sawed through the wire, not quite my fault but and I fixed them for free. (They did send me a small thank you tip but that is not necessary or required). My items will provide you years of satisfaction because I use the strongest and best products available.

    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.

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

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

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

    Anyone that purchases an item with the intent to leave a neg for retalitory purposes is subject to fines, account restrictions and legal repercusions as per eBay policies and regulations.
