Truly Lovely New Bead Caps and Cones

Acorns, Petals and Delicate Filigree Caps and Cones

Antique Brass Caps and Cones

Plated brass oxidized bead caps, give an old fashioned elegant look to your jewelry designs. Add these lovelies to your beaded projects with stunning unique results.

Acorn bead caps are always a sell out and are excellent adornments for your czech glass, crystals and gems. We also carry these in antique silver and antique copper finishes.

Use the cones to gather multistrands and cords. Can't wait to try this myself. Which means I will be posting projects soon.

Thrilled To Offer New Size in Top Selling 3 and 1 Link Chain!

medium 3 and 1 chain cable chain

It's proven to be a great seller in the smaller version and its big sister is quickly climbing the charts.

Same great chain in antique brass, gunmetal and antique copper with added features like…

  • Larger links allow for use as Chain extender
  • Handle some weight with larger pendants and chunkier beads
  • Mixes well with other styles
  • Use for tassels, lariats, anklets, earrings..the list can go on
  • Worth mentioning that I always appreciate having the option to cut the smaller in between links opposed to cutting large links when designing with chain.

I'll stop raving about it and here are quick links to get a closer look:

Antique Brass #27 Medium 3 and 1 Chain

Antique Copper #36 Medium 3 and 1 Chain

Gunmetal #35 Medium 3 and 1 Chain

Have a great weekend.. I'm hitting SummerFair this Sunday with friends to enjoy all the great artisan made goods..buying some too!

Imagine Crafting Earrings In Less Than 20 Minutes

bar link chain with beads

3 chains connect on earwire

Using bar link chain makes for an attractive easy pair of earrings. The chain is nice without alot of extra. My daughter created these in less than 20 minutes wire wrapping beads to the end of each chain and connecting all three chain lengths to the ring of the earwire. It took less time than folding the laundry and more enjoyable to say the least.
