I have summer jewelry on my mind still, as I mentioned in my last blog post.\u00a0 Living here at the beach for the summer, naturally I chose ocean-themed components when selecting beads for Artbead’s<\/a> Design Partner program.\u00a0\u00a0 It was easy to find the perfect inspiration when perusing the many pendants<\/a> available.<\/p>\n

Ocean Blue<\/em> features a beautiful Hill Tribe sterling silver sand dollar pendant<\/a>.\u00a0 In keeping with a classic circular shape, I added some great lampwork discs by Blue Seraphim.\u00a0 Just look at that metallic sheen on those chunky discs!\u00a0 This piece was oxidized and tumble polished for a rustic appeal.\u00a0 Can’t you just see wearing this one with your favorite strappy sundress or a crisp white cotton top?<\/p>\n

My next piece once again features a sand dollar pendant, this time a stunning copper pendant<\/a> with an incredible patina.\u00a0 With a focal like this, I knew simplicity would be the key.\u00a0 I wire wrapped some brown turquoise beads<\/a> and added a second strand of pure copper chain.\u00a0 A gorgeous, etched lampwork bead by Kim Typanski was added off to the side.\u00a0 Again, the chains were oxidized and tumble polished.\u00a0 The hand forged clasp was created from heavy-gauge wire.<\/p>\n

Ocean Blues has sold, thank you.\u00a0 Copper Sands can be found in my Etsy shop<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now speaking of Artbeads, a fun new contest<\/strong> was just announced!\u00a0 You can enter for a chance to win a “Bead Genius” prize package (including a $100 gift card AND $150 worth of beading supplies) by taking a short quiz.\u00a0 Check your bead knowledge and enter for a chance to win Uh oh, I think I need to head back to school as I only scored a 7 out of 10!\u00a0 Contest open until September 16th.<\/p>\n

Thank you taking a\u00a0 moment out of your summer day and spending some time here at sweet bead studio.<\/p>\n
