Diamond Bracelet ?

Posted in Jewelry, Handmade, Bracelets by craft article admin on the March 15th, 2007

I not sure if this is made of diamonds but hey..

 

I’m loving the look of this..

Great idea.. Loads of skill and looks GREAT!

The odd thing for me is the price.. Yep off the top of your head i’d be thinking around the £80-£90 mark maybe more plus diamonds make a difference ;)

 hmmm.

£15 … Wow .. About $30 to our friend in the USA ..

I’ll be blog more of his stuff pretty soon ..

Cheers peter :D

Cool blue…

This fushed glass pedant with a silver bail caught my eye today so here it is

 

 

I think the silver and blue works great together…  

 

This pendant is designed with blue Savoy Studios “Thorns” dichroic glass. It measures 36 mm x 20 mm, including the sterling silver-plated pendant bail.
