I didn't realize how EXPENSIVE these little buggers can be! Holy man! So, a little confession to make - sometimes I troll certain websites for folks who are selling their beads....I won't say which for fear that someone else may become my competition...but anyway. =) I found this listing that a woman had put up saying that she had bead caps. I clicked on the link and saw a smattering of bead caps, and not really sure how many or what they REALLY looked like - but I bit the bullet. I bought them from her, and she was kind enough to send them to me.
When the package arrived, I nearly dropped it on the floor - it was HEAVY! I weren't expectin' that. I opened the bag....and my jaw about hit the same spot as the envelope! That sucker was PACKED with bead caps. SO! You can see a *small* sampling of the goodies that I received and have sorted. I've got about 3/4 of the bag left.
I decided this this week, I hadn't really worked with pearls too much so I pulled out my organizer of pearls and settled on these pink marquis sweethearts. I used some of the caps from the bag and matched the pearls with some GORGEOUS, round, Jonquil/Antique pink Swarovski crystals. I LOVE how they turned out. What do YOU think?
