| Jezebel- Was inspired by an old movie starring Bette Davis. Bette plays a spoiled rich Southern Belle in pre-Civil War America. She humiliates her family and causes a scandal by wearing a red dress to a ball in an Era when all respectable single ladies attended public functions wearing white. Adding insult to injury her Beau was then forced to spend the evening defending her honor. This composition features fresh water pearls and a Vermil(Sterling Silver plated with 22kt. Gold) extender clasp. Dyane |
| Beauti-fall(R)- As the name suggests, this piece celebrates the beauty of the Fall Season. Its one of those, "Is the glass half empty or half full?" things, can you see the beauty of Fall? Although I have an appreciation for the colors of all the Seasons, Fall is my favorite time of Year. I'm glad people seem to agree with the colors chosen for this bracelet. The extender clasp for this piece is Vermil (Sterling Silver plated with 22kt. Gold). Dyane |
| Moon Bathing Jasmine(R)- I love the serendipitous ways I find inspiration for my pieces. The vision for this piece came while returning from an Art Festival one moonlit evening. When I walked past our Jasmine plant, in addition to the wonderful aroma of flowers, the image of the moonlight dancing on the leaves became this bracelet. This piece features Czech pressed glass drops in an amazing Cobalt blue. I've created a ruffle of silver seed beads for this piece. The extender clasp is Sterling Silver. Dyane |
| Mikki- is the Little Sister of my " Michelle" necklace. My vision for this piece included a Sterling Silver Hand-crafted bead in the center. I have seen these beautiful and lively colors used on buildings in Miami, FL. When I saw the Lavender seed beads used for this piece, I just couldn't leave the Bead Store without them. This was a different color scheme for me and I had no idea how I'd use them. French Lavender is one of my favorite fragrances and this color reminded me of fields of Lavender, kissed by the sun, beneath the blue sky. Dyane |
