Jewelry you can make yourself using Swarovski, Czech, Silver and Gold
Are you a DIY enjoying bead crafts that incorportates silver and gold into your color rich jewel designs for earrings, necklaces and bracelets? The 100 colors and 20 facet cuts of Swarovski crystal beads bring visual texture to my jewelry designs. Czech Republic glass beads offer rich deep colors, with individual 2-tone Czech beads often possessing unique color shading within the clear glass of the bead.
When I wear an outfit, I like earrings, bracelets, necklaces to all reflect the colors of my outfit.
Well, a trip to a shopping mall clearly showed that I couldn't afford that! So I started designing and making my own jewelry.
Show cased below is a featured photo of my jewelry designs. I have over a 100 designs, and I am building a web page to show them to you. I will add a few each day until I get the majority of them shown. Each jewelry design has a photo, comments and material list for each one.
Click here to view the first page of my jewelry designs. Right now I have a total of five pages of photos with links to material and instructions for you to look overr.
Thanks for looking at my creations.
This week's featured jewelry is a natural stone with a nice coral color. After this year's winter holidays I faced up to too much dining out and have joined an indoor swim exercise class. I liked the other ladies immediately when I noticed almost all of them wore jewelry while working out. My kind of gals. Finding a coral bathing suit on sale was great, even better was that I had these bracelets and earrings already made up.

Swarovski® crystal beads
Have your jewelry project in mind and want sparkling colors. I often use the Swarovski® 5301 bicone style crystal bead which has a hole through the axis of the bicone for stringing onto bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.

Thank you for giving me a closer look at Swarovski crystals. Your designs are beautiful. Posted August 29, 2007 |
Hi Noelle_and_Dan, Great lens . I really enjoyed the articles . I have also created a lens ??.Have you glanced into your local jewelry store lately? Unless there happens to be a major women's gift holiday around the corner, they probably looked a little desolate. "Brick and mortar" jewelry stores seem to be falling on hard times recently, and one contributing factor is the growth of online jewelry auctions sites. click here

In sandal wearing weather I like to wear anklet jewelry ...
Click photo or here to view material list and design comments. This dangling anklet of silver beads and dark green Czech Republic glass beads is a fun one to wear as the dangles move gracefully about my ankle as I walk.
