Crystal Canary says:Jane, I think that purple lampwork focal in the second bracelet is super unique. I like the contrast of the green quartz (at first I thought it was green fluorite) and added texture with the stacked lentils. This one will be snagged up in a jiffy!

Althea A says:Jane, I agree with Crystal about that second bracelet. It will definitely be snatched up in a jiffy. It’s gorgeous. I like the mixture of beads you used in the first bracelet except for the skull. Skull’s scare me! LOL. And that focal link in the 3rd bracelet is really striking. Great additions to all the lovely pieces in your shop.

dolllady aka Pam says:These are all beautiful in their own right. The skull grimace made me looks twice. The decorations on makes me think it is for Dias del Muertos, the Mexican holiday on November 1. I haven’t seen one with clenched teeth before. I loved the last 2 bracelets.

K Ralston says:Awesome bracelet for those who like skulls. I like the others more though. I thought I’d tell you something. I’m always the last human to do anything that has to do with technology or popularity. Last to get a VCR, last to get a cell phone, or learn the internet etc. But I have bought a few things on Etsy recently and now I am interested. I mark my favorite stuff or buy something I like, mostly stones and beads. The AI (or whatever) started recommending shops for me based on my interests. The 1st suggestion it made was for your shop! See how much I love your things. Even the algorithm knows. I thought that would make you smile.

Beady Little Eyes says:The purple lampworked focal is great – reminds me of an octopus. Wonderful bracelets. Love the colors on your purple one.

Little Round Chick says:Skull and flowers…what a combo! Great color and design. The other two are outstanding sweetjane originals. And your focals…. everything from the sublime to the wild. Love ‘em all!
