New Swarovski Peridot and Tanzanite Crystal Bead Bracelets with Vintage Swarovski Charm * Rosary Wire Repairs

Two new bracelets listed this week at:

https://www.etsy.com/shop/LetOurLightShine

New Peridot Swarovski Crystal Beads on Golden Brass Artistic Wire

New Tanzanite Swarovski Crystal Beads on Golden Brass Artistic Wire

These two bracelets were listed this week in my Etsy shop.  I am working hard to get as many items completed as possible as I know we are all looking for Christmas gifts.  In addition, there are weddings being planned, birthdays to celebrate, and many other reasons you may want to purchase an item in my online Etsy store.  

Each item that I make is completed by hand in my home and is made to the best of my ability.  If I don't like the way something looks, I start over and/or redo the part that I don't think is up to my standards.  

Both of these new Swarovski beads are gorgeous!  I love the colors and they look beautiful within the bracelets.  

I have vintage and new Swarovski crystal beads within the items in my Etsy store.  I love both.  If you have a personal preference about the lead within the older crystals, then the new Swarovski beads will appeal more to you.  I love them all!

Someone asked me about repairs on my rosaries and I would like to address this question.  As long as someone is willing to pay for the shipping both ways, to my home and back to your address, I will be happy to repair the wire on one of my rosaries or other wire repair items free of charge.  They should not break under normal use but if they are pulled with great strength, anything is possible.  As far as the beads, if one is lost or broken, I can not replace those because many are vintage and limited in supply when I make the item.  I do not keep extra beads after an item is designed and sold.  However, the wire is always available and I'm happy to repair any problems with the wire. Hopefully, that should never be necessary.  :-)

New and Vintage Swarovski Beads


For the last several years, I have been making jewelry, rosaries, and chaplets out of only vintage beads which I collected for over twenty years.  However, I knew the day would come when I would choose to design an item and need a specific color that I no longer had in my collection.  So, I found a certified dealer of Swarovski crystal beads and purchased new, beautiful beads to complete new items before the Christmas season approaches.  

This bracelet was using their beautiful peridot, bicone beads 8mm.  The beauty of Swarovski is so outstanding when it comes to crystal beads!  I am very pleased with the finished product and have several new colors that I will be adding to my store this week.  

I have also ordered Czech beads which I will be using for new rosaries. I will share photos when they arrive and my first new rosary is complete.  I have a large collection of vintage Swarovski beads which I will continue to use in all of my store items. I prefer to use the Swarovski beads for the Our Father beads in my designs and also most, if not all, of my bracelets and other jewelry.

Hope you take a look at the items I will be adding this week to my online Etsy store.  As always, everything in my store is free shipping to the US.  At this time, I am only shipping to the US but in the future, I hope to add other countries to my list of shipping destinations.

Let Our Light Shine!
