Seriously fun to wear earrings can be made with these antique brass filigree components. In this particular example I mixed many colors of green in response to the new spring colors surrounding me these days.

Consider all the colors in your bead collection..try black, purple, pink, aqua or earthly brown hues. Antique brass compliments many colors. AND, still light as feathers after loading them up with lots of drops. 

Show off your free spirited side and make and wear a pair!

Go wild with color,

Just in after a long wait are new chain styles in Sterling Silver.

Perfectly round flat links that catch and reflect light. Sterling silver chain #30 will make a delicate chain bracelet with little charms, stones and glass. Excellent for flashy earrings and most certainly a necklace making favorite. The price of sterling is inching up a bit these days but often times when factoring in the upgrade sterling silver gives a creation, the small price increase often times has no impact. This is priced at $4.50/foot and will serve you well.

Here's a closer look.

Happy Weekend

There are times when we need to have products with no assembly required. I have been running into many occasions of this very thing lately and not just in jewelry making land. But I will spare you with those details and proceed to highlight the new pre-made (finished) chains that have arrived at ohiobeads.com

Snake Chain

This sterling silver snake chain is ready to wear with soldered lobster clasp attached and measures 18 inches long. A smidgen larger than 1mm, 1.2mm in fact, it's an excellent choice if you need a simple chain with excellent drape. I would categorize this in a delicate chain category, but it is capable of hanging favorite charms and smaller pendants. In the pix above I hung a pretty cross charm on it which measures 1.5 inches long. Honestly this chain is pretty enough to wear without any extra additions.

Box Chain

Love This Chain.

Just like the name states this box chain is made up of tiny box-like links catching light on the flat services giving it a nice shimmer. Delicate, measuring 1mm in width, I'd hang light weight trinkets and charms and call it done. This has a spring closure and we carry these in 16 and 18 inch lengths.

How About A Flat Link Cable

Small,with slightly flattened links, this cable chain has lots of versatility. In this example I wire wrapped a stone to a slide on bail for a simple everyday look. The links in this chain are large enough to attach wire wrapped beads to or again, can be worn on its own.

Last , But Not Least..Twist Wire Cable

Although we put this in the finished chain category, it's technically a cable. This cable keeps it rounded shape and has a lobster closure in the back. I have seen customers slide larger hole beads on them along with charms and letter cubes spelling out names of loved ones. Here, I've hung a cubic zirconian in pink and love the fact that I can switch things on off with ease. Currently we carry this pretty neck wire in 16 inches and will add more sizes soon.
