Sparkly Swarovski Flower Pendant

Everything's coming up swarovski crystal beads!! How fun would it be to line your flowerbeds with swarovski sparkle!?

I'm very excited about the jewelry I am working on with all of this week's beads from Artbeads.com. I've got some serious bling here! :)

Today's bead is a swarovski 14mm peridot flower pendant.

One of the many thoughts I had today involved using the bright gold chain in a bracelet cuff as the outer rows and weaving gold wire through the links with the filigree flowers and butterflies "floating" in between.

I have also seen some great ideas in the comments this week such as creating a multi strand necklace with dangles and filigree earrings.

As I mentioned earlier in the week, photos just don't do these beads justice. The clarity and sparkle are AMAZING! The green is so springy (not to mention St. Patricky). I think it's time to CREATE!

The beads this week are great! I'm anxious to see your finished designs.

Congratulations on being featured!

Only a couple more days till it's officially spring, on the calendar anyway! It's supposed to be 68 here tomorrow and then snow Saturday & Sunday. Oh, Kansas in the spring!

Hey...you don't have to convince me Lisa...I love Swarovski crystals...there really isn't anything else to compare! :0) While green isn't a favorite color I've developed a liking for it since I started working with beads/silver...

Cheers

The Swarovski flowers are gorgeous! I too love all things Swarovski. The crystal spacers are particular favorites of mine. I use them in my new faux pearl necklace designs.

I used 2 lbs of german glitter to line the beds in my woodland garden!! It sparkles like crazy in the moonlight!! seriously! It reminds me of hidden jewelry lining the paths!!
Congrats on the WWC!! That was how I found my way over!! Now I am a new fan!!!
