"When I received these
amazing beads from Jelveh they just reminded my so much of
the warm colors of autumn. Golden amber, warm bronze and
subtle shades of green make up this beautiful set of Raku
beads. I combined them with pearls, Swarovski crystals,
Bali sterling silver and Thai leaf charms to finish off the
piece."

The beautiful colors of
fall in Western New York and Jelveh's richly colored
Florentine beads make this "Falling for Florentine" bracelet
one of my favorites. Jelveh's Lampwork beads are
complimented by gold Swarovski pearls and topaz AB
crystals.

"This bracelet is all about
the beads!! I created this piece to showcase the wonderful
cubes made by Donna Mehnert of Blackberry Beads. The
simplistic design shows off the free form Lampwork and I
attached a tassel of Czech glass leaves to compliment the
autumnal colors. Shiny silver Bali spacers and beads
accentuate the sparkle of the beads. This one really
glimmers, especially on a sunny autumn afternoon!!!"

"The
reason I named this wire wrapped bracelet “Twilight Zone”
Believe me it has some good intentions of fall the Lampwork
beads are made by ”BeadAddicts” (Angie and Verna are some Super
Women and they make some Super beads). The beads remind me of
those dark nights with the “time change” and people scurrying
home before it gets dark. And, the silver are from Bali, Hill
tribe, Turkish and lots of SS wire wrap and a lot of seamless SS
balls. No two pieces of silver are alike. And, believe me its
all Silver not Silver plate no cutting corners here! I make it
as if I am going to wear it myself! The silver reminds me of
the shiny twinkling stars in dark moonlit autumn night. Like I
said before no two beads are alike, a lot of semiprecious beads,
Swarovski Crystals, cubes bicones, vintage, dichroic, Mingo and
Asho, furnace glass and the list is endless."

"I made this bracelet for my 5
year old daughter. I decided that children deserve to wear
fabulous jewelry just as much as we do! Reilly always loves to
play with mommy's fringe bracelets, so my inspiration was my
daughter! This sterling fringe bracelet was designed around
three of your Lampwork beads. Reilly is always in jeans or
khakis, so I decided to go with a jean and khaki color scheme.
I hand wire wrapped 46 beads including vintage Lucite flowers,
Czech pressed glass flowers and shapes, Bali silver, Swarovski
crystals, cat's eye, and tiger's eye. The result is the perfect
combination of jeans and khakis. Reilly loves to wear it....she
loves the movement and the jingle! I have created an entire
line of fringe bracelets for children now!"

"When I
was making this bracelet, all I kept thinking of for some
reason was wine, hence the name. But it just as easily could
have been called 'Autumn'....the colors remind me of the
fall!"

"Where
I live in Michigan one of the most beautiful places
to visit in the fall to see the amazing colors of
the season is Traverse City. There they have some of
the most breathtaking views of the splendor of
Mother Nature at this time of year. The whole trip
there is a wondrous tour of all the fall colors,
hence the name of this piece."

"In this gorgeous set of
Jelveh's peacock beads, I used
Swarovski tanzanite cubes and sterling silver Bali
beads. The clasp looks like it was made especially for
these beads! The earrings are sterling and contain
violet AB Swarovski cubes and AB 4mm bicones. I wear
this set all the time and people always comment on how
exquisite it is!"

"Fall is a little
different in the desert where I live. Here we have glorious red
rocks under blue skies with minimal falling foliage. I wanted
to capture this desert version of fall in my bracelet. It
features Lampwork beads, red coral, Baltic amber, turquoise
from Kingman, AZ, cane glass, Swarovski crystals, and plenty of
silver and charms. We have wild burros and bighorn sheep here
so they fit in perfectly! Little utensils for eating, what's
autumn without the harvest food? This comfortable bracelet is
fit for a cowgirl or a cowgirl-at-heart."

"When
I opened this set of Lampwork beads from Jelveh, I immediately
thought of my mothers rose garden and the pale pink old
fashioned English roses there. In my design I wanted to show
off each and every bead as the work of art they are, so I used a
minimum of frufru, complimenting the color with matching
Swarovski crystals and my finest Bali beads as space to breath
between each precious treasure. Hence Victorian
Rose was born from my memories of
home. Rickie"

"This is EXACTLY how I
pictured these beads to turn out! I sketched this bracelet from
somewhere (my mind has totally forgotten) and have been in
search for the right beads to make it out of. I think the look I
was going for was a woodsy, outdoorsy type of feeling. The name
of the bracelet is "Sage Rush", I know, not really woody or
outdoorsy but I thought it was kinda cute and just really fits
it:) This bracelet is sooo comfortable to wear too. It feels
like silk and just kind of floats on top of your wrist."

"I wanted
a design that would show off the lentil focals, simple but
classic! It does just that when worn."

"The Lampwork beads reminded me of the purple/lavender/plum Fall
Chrysanthemums. I wanted the bracelet to show all the hues of
the blossoms, and capture the "fluffiness" of the foliage."

"I wanted the design to look like leaves falling off the trees
for fall. I think I accomplished the effect I was looking
for."
