The word "Millefiori" is a combination of two Italian words: "Mille" meaning thousand & "Fiori" meaning flowers. Millefiori beads are a decorative glass are never exactly the same, but they have been matched up for a nice effect within this necklace. There are 6 oval millefiori glass beads, emerald Swarovski crystals, and daisy spacers wrapped into the chain using silver wire. The center millefiori bead hangs nicely as the focal bead and the colors match wonderfully. The necklace is ended with a sterling silver lobster clasp.

These chandelier earrings take a bit longer than others, but the extra time is well worth the outcome. I used two sizes of topaz brown cathedral glass beads, 3mm jonquil Czech beads, and the daisy spacers as accents. They hang nicely at about 4 inches and are not heavy in weight.

Supplies for needy children in Africa

Thermo-sensitive mood beads are coloring changing with temperature. This bracelet is very sturdy, as the beads are strung onto leather cord for durability. The Bali style beads between the mood beads are great accents! Ends with a sterling silver lober clasp.

This pair of turquoise earrings were really fun and easy to make. I used handcrafted faceted turquoise beads, sterling silver chain, daisy spacers as accents, filligree beads on top and ended with sterling silver ear wires. They are about 3 3/4 inches in length.
