The jewelry I love to wear is always rather simple… made to show off a fantastic bead…or three! The focal bead is made by ceramic artist Tari Sasser. When I started making the Rio Party beads, I finally knew what I was going to do with Tari’s fantastic bead! As luck would have it, my friend Heidi Bond – makes gorgeous hand dyed ribbons – had the perfect ribbon to string it and 2 Rio donut glass beads on. Simple and WOW all in one! $42.00 The ribbon is about 25″ and the focal is 2.5″ long.
Another set of Rio Party color beads. A color reaction between a rare, no-longer-made glass and two more common highly reactive glasses. There is no predicting how the colors will develop but a riot is pretty much guaranteed! You will find baby blue, purple, lavender, burnt orange, golden yellow and teal in these. The five bead set is a smidge under 3″ long. The smaller pair are about 3/8″ and the larger three are around a 1/2″. $27.50 |

Another of my duo hearts. I LOVE this design! Black and Ivory on one side for a basic, go everywhere kind of look. But the back, is more a wild and crazy color explosion! This particular one features lots of rich fall browns! Heart has a glass bail and measures 1.25″ tall x 3/4″ wide. $12.00

I dropped this gorgeous off mandrel gingko on a tile floor and broke off the glass bail! I was so sad! He staying on my work table for almost a year! He was too pretty to toss! I ground any sharp edges off and wire wrapped him in sterling silver, creating a generous bail. 1.5″ wide x 1.5″ tall. $24.00

This is such a subtle beauty. It may not look like much at first glance but, look again and you’ll see all these dark, mysterious sky colors. Rich blues in navy and steel, a flash of green or purple, and lots of silver glass shimmer! The key is 2 3/4″ long and the bead was built on the shank of the key in the flame. The key has been polished with a sealing wax to prevent rust and protect your clothing. $15.00

Named for the opitical illusion created by encasing parts of the bead in clear glass. The silver-rich glass used for the purple dots shimmers and gives off a mother of pearl effect in the light. The green dots add to the overall olive tint created by this rich ivory glass. Bead is 3 3/8″ long x “just over” 3/8″ wide. $30.00
I was testing some frits with this set. Orange, blue, green and brown over while Small floralsm mostly melted in on the tab. The tab is 1″ hole to hole and the rounds are 1/2″ $9.99
