New Stuff

Don't put a crimp in your style ...

Put style in your crimps instead! 

Well - now aren't these nifty? Decorative Crimp ends, that you can use with cable, wire, chain, leather, etc. You can glue or crimp these, or even invent your own way to use them! Four styles - two sizes each. I'm thinking you could use them in earrings to make a cute dangle with maybe some headpins hanging down, or maybe some feathers and some crystals on coloured wire. What do you think? 

Do you remember our coffee bean beads? Have you been waiting for them to come back? Well - here you go - restock and some new ones - including this Chocolate Garnet colour. Looks brown in the photo, right? But in some lights, it is a strong shade of red! Same bead - changes colour, depending on the lighting! We have them in Licorice and Cinnamon too! They don't change colour, however!

Other interesting shapes of beads too! These twisted ovals have clean, elegant lines, and because they are wider than they are thick, are nice and light for the visual impact that they have. 

At the other end of the spectrum, we have these chunky Faceted Nuggets. These have a sort of rolling, tumbling rock vibe, and have a stoney finish that has been polished off - to give you the impression that you are peeking though windows into the glowing colour inside! 

Hey - how about a nice clasp to go with those? Perhaps this Sea Garden glass and brass clasp to go with those Great Lakes faceted nuggets? OOOh, or these Satin Stormy Seas Arrow Drop? Oh, oh, oh, or these, these are Seafoam Opal Satin Flowers of David! 

And this Pinch Bail - with a humongous hole you could drive a truck through - how awesome are these? You're going to want these for sure!

We have them in sterling too - but smaller - but still very cool. 

And this clasp - this rocks! The dichroic glass cabochon is just lovely - and looks a lot like opal. 

Now this would be a splurge, but what an awesome clasp for a truly special necklace. It's a very interesting mechanism, but once you figure it out - you can see that it is a type of toggle. The oyster closes over the pearl and snaps shut - making the pearl inside your own little secret.
