The Meaning Behind the Name...

Bug's Beads seems like an unusual name...and it is. Bug was my nickname my parents gave me as a baby. "Cute as a bug"- and the name has stuck ever since. :-)

Winter/Christmas Black, Green and Cream Necklace

I originally made this pattern into a bracelet for a friend and then decided it would make an excellent necklace for the "green" enthusiast. 

Made in a catching pattern of "fat" cream seed beads with a delightful glimmering finish to them, black oval beads for a different size dimension and green solid rounds, the necklace has an earthy tone that could be worn during this holiday season and then on to really any other occasion.

Made in 17 inches long from clasp to clasp, I would suggest that you measure your favorite necklace to see if this ones falls within those parameters. If you would like it made shorter or longer, that will not be a problem, just convo me for details!

Red and Black Crystal with Cream Pearl Christmas Necklace

The minute this necklace was created I knew I loved and just barely stopped myself from grabbing it for myself! Made with Swarovski element pearls in 4mm cream and Swarovski 4mm rich black and red make a striking combination. Rich in tones and light elements it draws the eye and captures the attention. A string of pearls that is more than just pearls that any woman would want to hang around her neck.

The necklace measures 18 inches clasp and clasp, but I would strongly suggest that you measure your favorite necklace to know if this length would satisfy you. If you would like the necklace adjusted please let me know before ordering, if significant length needs to be added additional cost might be necessary.

I LOVE this necklace...and hope you will as well. But hurry soon...I might snag it for my own collection. ;-)

Cream Swarovski Pearls with Silver Tubing Spacers Necklace

I made this necklace and then sighed in delight at the results. Absolutely stunning in person. Swarovski pearls in 4 and 6mm sizes give off a lovely accent to the silver beaded tubes that glimmer when they hit light. It's an understated necklace made to hit about mid-chest level to wear with a business suit, pair with a out-on-the-town shopping spree or perfect for the bridesmaid party or understated bride. 

It truly is (if the designer is allowed to say so) simply gorgeous!

Measures 20 inches from clasp to clasp with durable accu-flex wire. Necklace will come in organza bag for easy gift giving!

Adult Black/Red Necklace!

 Pictured: Adult necklace 16 inches long (always measure your favorite necklace length to be aware of how long it is and what to expect in your purchase of this size.)

A 16" adult necklace is the standard length I create when I design my necklaces and is my personal favorite length. However, if you would like it longer or shorter, please simply make note of that in the "notes to seller" section of the purchase. If a significant length needs to be added, please contact me BEFORE purchase.

Made with quality glass cats' eye beads in vibrant, light catching colors, the necklace is made to be worn to add that bit of "pretty" to an everyday outfit or dress up the most formal of occasions. 

High-quality strong wire, made to withstand the toughest of beatings and quality ensured lobster claw clasp, this necklace is sure to become the favorite part of your wardrobe. 

Or so *I* say...as an avid wearer of all my jewelry. ;-)

Please feel free to contact me with any questions...custom orders are welcomed and encouraged! I'm here to answer any of your questions and hope to hear from you. :-)
