Production of glass beads in the area dates back to the 14th century, though production was depressed under communist rule. Because of this long tradition, their workmanship and quality has an excellent reputation.

Beaded Leather And Mother of Pearl Flower Wrap Bracelet Tiny 3mm beads are woven onto brown leather cord with a nylon cord to create this boho-chic small bracelet wrap. The beautiful Mother of Pearl flower button creates the toggle clasp that will fit a size 6'' . This is beautiful on its own or layered with other pieces. I love this look!

The Evolution of the Layered Bracelet aka"Arm Party"

Back in the late 60's and 70's, musician Janis Joplin led the "BoHo" trend and the layered bracelet look was a signature style for many in the rock n roll world.

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith also rocks the "Arm Party" look.

This is one of my favorite jewelry looks ever! I love to stack 'em up! What I find so workable about this style is, that ,it's easy to create your very own "Signature Look" just by mixing pieces that you really love.So get your arm party on!...Layer them in endless combinations and in a way that speaks to your soul.

My Love Of Beads

I have always loved working with beads.Beads have been a part of just about every culture.Old and rare beads are of great interest to me ,because they have a history of their very own ,a story to tell.When I find myself snooping about a bead show,fine bead shop or trade bead tent,I'm totally immersed...touching,feeling their weight in my hands,holding them up to the light,feeling how cold or warm they are on the skin. For me,the hours are well spent.I come away with beads that I love,often mixing them with other mediums to give them a new wearable life. Did you know? Glass became an important material in beadmaking with its discovery, around 3400 years ago. The word bead comes from the Anglo Saxon words bidden (to pray) and bede (prayer.) Lampwork beads are made using a “lamp” (flame) as a heat source for melting the glass. Now lampworkers use torches to heat the glass to a molten state and gather it on a steel rod.
