mesmerising

As any beader / jewelry maker would have you know, the bead stash is NEVER enough. There will always be some thing new that catches the eye. And you would be compelled beyond reason to get it. Same with me.

I have recently acquired a stash of faceted rondelles that catch the eye in the most remarkable of ways. They show off the natural beauty of the stones so beautifully that it is really best to leave the design simple and let nature mesmerize you.

This particular piece features labradorite. Labradorite is a fascinating mineral. It has a smoky gray look, somewhat dull until it catches the light. Then the colour play with light starts with flashes of blue dancing all over begins. Gorgeous in real life.

Will be stocked soon. :) I promise.

Meantime, two new pieces in store. Go sneak a peek. And remember to take part in the contest!
