Art Beads and a Spring Bracelet

I have been a beading blogger for over a year now and I just love getting new treasures in the mail. The best part is I get to choose them! This last time we were invited to get Spring items to celebrate the arrival of spring. Well, time got away from me and I am only now getting to this post. Thanks for the reminder Duchess, what would we do without you :)

I started with a pre-made sterling silver bracelet that I already had. It was just easier than measuring a piece of chain and it already had a clasp. I ordered these gorgeous dragonfly pendants that are the perfect size for a large charm and the sweet little butterfly charms.  I added these with some 4mm sterling jumprings at somewhat random intervals. I then wire wrapped these little Swarovski flowers directly to the chain. They are called margarita beads and they come in a broad range of colours and sizes. I used Erinite for the green, Light Rose and Amethyst. 

Here is a detail shot of the sweet little margarita beads.

I love how delicate this bracelet is. It is also very light weight.

Perhaps someone with more delicate hands will end up owning this one?? Lol.

I had originally intended for this bracelet to have this butterfly toggle on it, but when I got it I realized that it was a three strand toggle, something I had failed to notice when I chose it, and it was much too large for the intended bracelet anyways. Fortunately, I think I can still find something to do with it ;)

It is awfully pretty :) I think I may need to use this in a very complex lampwork and crystal bracelet perhaps...

You can find all the Sterling Silver beads, toggles and finding you want on the main Silver page. They have a wonderful selection and some good sales too!

Come again real soon!
