Christmas Ornament or Sun Catcher
11" long - extra long - extra fun
Long and beautiful Fleur DeLis Green Crystal with Gold Glass Hearts, Santa Hat, Christmas Tree, Angel & Sparkle
Fleur DeLis: The symbol for "eternity". What a lovely way to share your love with others! A Fleur DeLis is a teardrop shape with fancy, lacy edges. This crystal is 2 1/4" long x 1 1/5" wide x 1/2" thick. Crazy BIG!
I used adorable and very detailed lampworks in this piece for your tree, place of business or home windows! The red Santa or elf hat has a white "fluffy ball" with holly berries and leaves on the white brim. It is solid glass, surely to never break! I also used the cutest little, well not little at 17mm tall, a transparent green Christmas tree that has raised dots with colors for lights and touches of "snow" on it's boughs. It has a decorated base whereI placed a red crystal rondelle as a tree stand and used a 7mm glass heart as your tree topper.
I created an angel from my very favorite firepolish green beads and used a green crystal for her head.
Smattered through out the 11" is metallic golden glass hearts and AB clear Swarovski bicone crystals that sparkle so pretty when this moves. Aurora Borealis or AB crystals have the rainbow coating that allows for secondary colors of the rainbow! They are pure class when Swarovski does them!
To me, this tells a story of fun and love during the Christmas season!
To make this ornament or sun catcher I used:
Crystal Fleur DeLis = 2.25" or 55mm
Santa Hat = 20mm x 13mm thick
Christmas Tree = 17mm x 13mm at base
Glass Golden Hearts = 10mm
Glass Red Heart = 7mm
Angel Head = 8mm green crystal
Firepolished Glass Bead = 12mm
Swarovski Crystals = 6mm AB Clear bicones
15mm Bali gold round hanger, 22mm angel wings and 11mm bead cap

For years of memories on your tree, in your window or for that friend that is so hard to shop for. OR be the one they all fight for at your annual ornament exchange party!
This is a great deal! I am fairly certain you can't make this for less than I am listing it for. I would like to just recoup my monies so I can buy more beads and make more beauties!
~~~
This beauty is heavy duty thus I strung it on the heaviest wire possible and crimped for additional strength and security. I have also covered the ugly crimps for you! A crimp cover is a split bead, either silver or gold plated that I fold down and round the crimp. It leaves an unavoidable seam that is barely noticeable. It is not a broken bead.
~~~
If there is a coin in the photos it is so you can compare sizes and is not included with this piece.
Also, I have put approximate sizes in the photos as well. Remember, one inch = 25mm
~~~
This is strung on heavy duty yet flexible 49 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust or break! It won't break but if it does, but it won't, you are covered with KATHY'S EXTENDED KINDNESS WARRANTY! Don't fret, my items don't break and I have decided again to stop repairing other beaders items. Please go back to where you bought your item to see if the seller will fix it for you. It is taking up too much of my time and does not pay the bills. Thanks for understanding.

A word about Bali, Tibetan, German silver and/or gold. These types of metals are not required by law to disclose their gold or silver content therefor you will not find a stamping like .925 silver or 14kt gold on the beads, charm holders, clasps, etc.
Yes, I did put in quite a few photos, this is so you can make an informed decision to buy this piece for yourself or a deserving friend. NO! You will NOT receive one item for each photo. lol, do you believe I have to put that in writing to cover my self.
After a big 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!
So please, realize just how powerful your feedback is and that ONE negative AND even a NEUTRAL can and DOES shut down small sellers. One N feedback can cause us to loose our rights to be added to ebays search engines, thus no one can find our listings!) Feedback can have very detrimental consquenses, please know what your opinion is very powerful so please consider how human sellers are.
DID YOU KNOW? Neutral and Negative feedbacks have the same consequences for a seller therefore any N feedback will shut down a small seller like me. Please, contact me if you are unhappy and give me the chance to make you happy and satisfied. If something has gone wrong, it was completely accidental. I promise to NEVER lie, cheat or steal from you.
And, a little info about the new rating program in Ebay regarding stars for sellers. 2 out of 4 of the stars your seller has no control over and yet we are graded as if we do. We should not be held responsible for how long it takes for delivery but for how SOON WE ACTUALLY SHIPPED IT and for the quality of the packaging.
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.
