What do you think? I know you saw the beads - but - what do you think of the whole package - on a brass ball chain? It's a different look... kinda high tech... warm from the color of the metal... nice.
I'm likely not any good as a public gauge; however, when I've been fortunate enough to purchase your beads there is no way I would hang them on my neck. I want them where I can touch them and see them -- that would be my wrist. Part of my work when designing jewelry is to find a way to weight the bracelet (ok, and necklaces) so that the bead(s) stay on top. That way they don't risk damage and I get to look at them and touch them easily. While I have a Troll and my daughter has a Pandora, I'm not in love with them... All that said, I love the look of the beads with the core; but, use lots of silver (or any metal) as a balance.
I love the change from silver to a brass since everyone has the silver. There is no brass PMC but I can make some silver beads to go in between if these were on a silver ball chain. I actually have a silver ball chain that has three gemstone intarsia beads and two gold beads and they all look good together. I like the warm look of the brass, these don't have to be for a Pandora, either necklace or bracelet. I like it just this way. Ill look to see if I have some brass spacer beads and you can put one in the middle, three or five is a good number.
A little background would be helpful - now, wouldn't it?
I have a great passion for lampworking - and have spent the past 10 years exploring. Easily, I could spend the rest of my life and still be amazed at the vastness of 'possibilities'.
This venue allows me the freedom to showcase what I view as some of my very best pieces, discoveries and to delight in what I manage to capture in photos. Since there are no items for sale here - know that many of these items are long gone - but, I'll always have these photos! Do leave a comment if you so choose, as it does a heart good to know someone is enjoying right along with me.

I don't have the bracelet these were intended for, so I especially like this necklace-simple, but the glass is gorgeous. For sale?
