Geometric Metallic- New Range
I've finally finished the first piece in my new range. I've called it Geometric Metallics although this doesn't exactly roll off the tongue... This is a cuff bracelet and is made with silver, gold, white and red Swarovski crystals. The clasp is made of one half gold and one half silver magnetic sliding clasp. I've used contrasting red thread which you can see clearly with the white beads. There are over 600 bicone beads and over 4m of thread in this piece. phew. that was a lot of potential knots...

Commissioned Piece : Super Sparkle Bracelet
I've just had a commission for a simple and super sparkly bracelet with Clear Crystal AB bicone beads. I thought I'd sit out in the sun today while I was beading. It was all rather dazzling!

I will take some more photos when I've got the ribbon but I'm really happy with how it's turned out. Hopefully the buyer will be too
