I recently met a jewellery designer, and for the occasion, I took my entire stock of beads. As other beadmakers will attest, you never know what a stranger will pick out of the pile. Among them were a number of beads I hadn't got round to listing, because they weren't quite 'special' to me. But I've learnt my lesson, and decided to group beads together and see how they do. So, if you fancy some special offer beads, check them out. I'll always give the size of one bead, and you can work out the rest ;o)
| The Blues |  | |||
| Four long slim focals, all a bit special in their own way - one has silver frit, one mixes clear and dark blue, one has silver foil and teal added, one has been etched. The etched bead measures 4.1x1cm. | ||||
£15.00 (+ postage: £2.00) | ||||
| The Pinkettes |  | |||
A group of pink 'supporting cast' beads, including three sprees (one of them a pair) and a pale pink lentil. Some silvered ivory stringer, some silver wire, some lacing, but I consider these beads 'seconds', as not all ends are perfect! 8 beads total, the pale pink lentil measures 1.8cm across. SOLD - Thank You! | ||||
