Considered a chain classic, ball chain is made of small sterling silver spheres instead of open links. The ball ends easliy snap into the connector clasp, making for quick assembly. You'll like wearing this style chain for it's casual elegance. Wear it plain or attach bails or wire wrapped beads or pendants like our above inspiration. Adding our new sterling silver teardrop can be created in a snap, giving you more time to work on other projects.  A seventeen inch necklace already has 136 spheres in place without the need to string beads. Ready to wear , quick and easy.

I like use this ball chain for an anklet. Here, I easily attached a trinket from my bead stash with a sterling silver jumpring. Check out this new ball chain right here to make your own unique necklace or anklet.

Hey all just a quick post to let you know about these new brass charms and filigrees added to our shopping cart. These brass charms are rich with detail, and blend well with other metals and many bead families. And, they're priced great, no need to dip into the gas money fund. I especially love the flower droplet shape. Add this to earrings, hang with a clasp or use with pretty glass clusters. You can also age them a bit by stamping into Staz On permanent inks, found in most scrapbooking stores. I've included a necklace design I put together using the butterflies with bead cord, peridot nuggets, and seed beads. This is also featured at the brandolina blog.

I'll be back soon.
