Holiday Sparkle - Czech Glass and Art Beads

This year I'm making jewelry for smaller trunk shows and events and trying to keep an affordable price point in mind.  I'm mixing fun holiday pendants with just a touch of sparkle using Czech glass, rhinestone spacers and brass or gunmetal chain.  Here are some of my favorite combinations.

I'm pairing up this vintage image of a pine cone with traditional mix of the ol' red and green with just a bit of pink/champagne color reflected in the greenery.

While some are looking for more traditional holiday gifts, others want jewelry that are winter themed that will last through the season.  I like this winter woodland scene paired with cream and brown Czech glass beads.

And why not be a little playful for the holidays - I love the idea of using these bright Czech glass bead mixes to mimic holiday lights.  Pair them with a pine tree pendant and mix in the flowers stacked three together and upside down to look like tiny trees.

And finally back to the winter theme with icy blues and snowball white beads paired up with this sweet Snowbabies pendant.
