Possible Christmas for Holly
About this design:
I need a bracelet for Holly...for Christmas, as I typically give them each...necklace, bracelet and earrings. Although, this Christmas is really adding up to be quite expensive. I guess they both enjoy getting my jewelry gifts...or so they say.
Components:
PC pink bead, Gaea bird, Czech glass, Rose Quartz brios, Gray recycle beads, gold toggleAdditional Images:

Melody F says:Could replace Gaea bird with pink opal Czech bird, and glass pink sun bead with pewter floral coin bead, both from LB, for a similar less expensive bracelet.

dolllady aka Pam says:Both bracelets are beautiful and will be loved by the person receiving it. My personal preference is the last one pictured.

K Ralston says:Both very pretty. I like the 2nd one the most. Are the beads that look like gray pearls the recycle beads? I’ve never heard of them but they are the kind of thing I really like. Antique, romantic, lustrous looking. Are they from LB?

sweetjane says:K. Ralston…the gray recycled beads are the ones right next to the Gaea bird. I have had them so long I don’t remember where I got them,…chances are it was LB.

Beady Little Eyes says:Beautiful bracelets. Love the floral link on the 2nd bracelet. And the Czech Glass leaves!

Crystal Canary says:Lovely bracelets. I especially like the first bracelet with it’s color palette & unique beads. The nuggets & recycled beads really work for me. It has a ‘winter-warmth’ to it–that probably doesn’t make sense to anyone but me!

sweetjane says:Thanks you all!! I don’t think I will give Holly these for Christmas. I have to come up with something better. I really like the necklace I’m giving giving her, and some great gemstone earrings. I might leave it at that.
