dolllady aka Pam says:The colors of these 2 bracelets are beautiful! The skull bead was less jarring to me. The second bracelet is more to my liking. With that said, I am sure there are many people who prefer that skull.

sweetjane says:Thanks Pam…I just actually sold the skull bracelet to a repeat bracelet buyer….so you do never know.I don’t know what it is about skulls that attracts some people…but, of course, I was glad to sell it.

Althea A says:I love that second bracelet with the cherry quartz focal and the beautiful mix of Czech glass and gemstone beads. The skull and the evil eye in the first bracelet scare me, but others are obviously not affected that way since it’s already sold. The other beads in combination in the first bracelet are lovely if I just ignore the skull and evil eye.

Beady Little Eyes says:Fun bracelets. Does the evil eye keep people from giving you the evil eye? The copper toggle looks great. And your colors are lovely as usual.

K Ralston says:I too prefer the 2nd bracelet, however many people love the skulls so I am not surprised that you sold it quickly. What’s nice about jewelry making is that each of us has a certain style and preference. We may occasionally veer from it, but we mostly make the things that we love the most. And at the same time are able to appreciate the talent, skill, and creativity that goes into the pieces that others make and prefer. It shows how professional you are that you can custom make a piece to someone else’s specifications.
