Here is a great 10 mm. sterling silver bead with a bright, shiny surface. It is quite reflective and brightens up a darker stone really well. This is an excellent bead that goes with everything, especially a stone that has a lot of texture and color, because it does not compete with the stone. It has a large hole that fits 10, 21 ga. wires going through to create a bail. This is a staple in my wire working accessories which I make sure I have all the time.

Here is the perfect bail bead for a medium to smaller sized stone. The smooth, shiny surface of the sterling bead is bright and reflective. It is great for a textured stone or one that has a lot going on because it doesn't compete with the it. I use these a lot and try never to run out because they are so versitile. The hole will fit 10, 21 ga. wires through to make a bail.

This bead has a beautiful, lacy look that I love to use as a bail bead. The picture shows the bead and a pendant that has it as the bail so you can see the effect it has. It is feminine without being fussy. One of my absolute favorites. It is 12 mm wide so it can go on a larger stone and have good proportion.

Here are pictured the finished pendants made from the Herringbone Pendant Tutorial. The tutorial is at the beginner level and provides detailed instructions to create this elegant pendant. The two kits offer the choice of red Tigereye, (item #231)or blue Lapiz, (#item #232). The kits are $25.00 ea. and you can purchase them in Accessories. Both make great looking pendants that are not difficult, they just look that way. It is a great introduction to the world of wire artistry. If you want to...

This is the kit for the Herringbone Pendant tutorial. This kit includes the blue Lapiz stone, the beads, the sterling silver wire for the finished pendant, two feet of practice wire and an 18 inch sterling silver snake chain for your finished pendant. It is a very versatile and elegant weave to learn and is a great introduction to the world of wire artistry. Plus a lot of fun!!! The Herringbone Tutorial is found in Tutorials as a separate item.

This chain is the one I wear the most. It is tightly woven in a square pattern and is soft and flexible. The flat sides reflect a lot of light so it is very shiny. The width of the chain is about the same as the width of the wire I use to make these pendants so it goes well with the whole composition. This chain is 18 inches long and has a round spring clasp on the end.

What do you do when you put on your necklace and wish it were just a wee bit longer? You place an add-on extension chain on to your necklace and instantly it is adjustable to whatever length you need. You just clip the lobster claw on to the end of your chain and use the other end of your chain to clip anywhere along the extension to adjust the length. I use one of these quite often (in fact, I have one on today) when I wear a sweater and need my necklace a little longer. Most of the necklaces...

This chain is one of my favorites. It is a little more dressy but still very practical because you can use it with so many things. The segments on the chain are square and reflect a lot of light so it is very shiny. It is 18 inches long with a round spring clasp.

This chain has a nice, smooth surface that has a mat finish. It is very soft on your skin and is a great basic chain to use with many different pendants. It has a lobster claw clasp and is 18 inches long.
