Two chains are "2.5mm diamond cut rollo" and two are "fancy textured fishbone" chains.

The size of the rollo is great for necklaces, bracelets and earrings, with the added feature of diamond cuts on each link to add a little flash to each piece of jewelry.  Use them alone or with the 2.0mm or 3.5mm rollo chains.

(diamond cut rollo chains shown above; not true size pictures)

The fancy textured fishbone chains call out to be made into funky, long earrings.  You can cut it apart and piece it together with beads, stones or other chain or wear it with just a clasp for a nice bracelet.

Hi!  How are you doing today?

I recently finished creating this bracelet for a Christmas gift. 

Enjoyed working with these new saturn beads that frame 6mm round beads. 

Its certainly easy enough to wire wrap these sweet beady units to our Rhodium plated 3.5 mm rollo chain. The 4mm corrugated round beads are also newly plated in Rhodium and fit nicely in our mini sized saturn frames. 

I wish I was brave enough to show you all the saturn frames with various bead combos over flowing from my bead tray. I could hardly make up my mind whether to use the gold plate, rhodium, antique brass, silver or sterling silver plates. 

I knew the person who is on the receiving end of this bracelet likes sparkle, so the crystal beads were an easy decision.  

The mini saturns stack nicely on the head pin and almost look like they are one stacked unit.

I'm a bit behind with photos, but all the plates and sizes are up on the site except the 18k gold which will be up soon. More ideas to showcase with these coming up next.

I invite you to try making some jewelry with the 8mm and 6mm saturn bead frames.  Try in one or more than one metal plate!

Want a discount code to use between for the next four days — from now until the end of the month/year 12/31/2011?

Enter   15Dec  in the "Redeem" box and clicking the "Redeem" button during checkout on your order of $25 or more for a 15% discount on items in stock.

And, of course, Happy New Year!
