Charm Bracelets & Halloween (The Fall holidays are coming)

Green/Copper Bracelet

With all the new charms and beads floating around here, everyone's thinking up charm bracelet designs. The first (beautiful!) one is by Design Team Member Teri Calia. (There are lots of photos in the gallery — with links to all the products used — so you can see close-ups.) Here are some of the new things Teri used:

4mm Round Blue Glass or Amber Beads
Nice small size for things like the centers of flowers. The amber-colored ones are really amber; the blue are clear glass. Sets of 10.

6mm Round Copper Star Beads
6mm diameter. They're cut out (so you can see through to the other side).

Copper Rope Beads
7mm diameter. Nicely detailed. Antiqued copper-plated pewter.

Amber Matte Glass Flower Bead Caps
Or just use as flower beads (not bead caps). Shown (far left) with an Olivine Faceted Bead.

Copper Glass Flowers
Imported Czech glass with metallic copper finish.

Bengal Spice Glass Flowers
11mm hurricane glass, imported from the Czech Republic. Hurricane glass is a combination of multiple glass colors that can change appearance and swirl pattern based on the conditions at the time of pressing. Each batch is unique and difficult to reproduce.
