Winter Romance

I love this delicate bracelet.  I used red and clear glass beads that had a hint of iridescence infused on their surfaces.  I also used round white beads that had a cloudy white effect on their surface which looked kind of like the glass that was popular in the early part of the 20th century.  Many of us may have had grandparents with pitchers and tumblers with this white cloudy or bubble glaze on them. The large red and white seed beads had a similar effect.  I used small silver beads for sparkle and little wrapped silver spacer beads to give the red beads a romantic collar look.  The silver toggle clasp matches the rope/wrapped look of the spacer beads.  The earrings showcase the large clear beads in contrast to the larger red beads on the bracelet with a sassy little red drop at the end that is kissed with a seed bead.
