Here are 2 bracelets I just made while thinking in terms of Valentine's Day: hence the pink. I am in love with the first one, a bangle made with thick round sterling silver tube beads from the Thai Karen Hill Tribes, and the wonderful lampwork of James Derrick Reeves. I used 2 of his swirling pink lentils around a regular bead also decorated with swirls for the front of the bracelet. Little Czech pink opal bellflowers are coming out of more Thai sterling silver - rosebuds here; there are Bali sterling silver beaded rondelles, and the "S" clasp that is decorated with a rose is also Thai as is the rose charm that is hanging beside it. This bracelet may be hard for me to let go - oh, and there are matching earrings, too.
This bracelet has a focal bead from LittleCrow, a beautiful pink tulip with green leaves around its base. The star gemstone here is pink rhodonite in cubes, long tube-like beads, faceted rondelles and a carved oval and a "ruffled bead. And of course there's a lot of sterling silver including the toggle clasp!These will probably be on auction on Ebay: search for Cluny Grey or for user id: chloemarie99

More pictures! You should post more goodies more often! I need inspiration. :-D I especially love the garnet/pearl combination you posted a while ago - gives me new ideas about how to use some of my dyed pearls.
Thanks for the sweet compliments. I do the jewelry, but the website and photos are all my hubby's doing. I told him what I wanted it to look like and he made it happen. :-)
