Imagine my delight when looking through the Artbeads online catalog, I came across some beautiful handmade Venetian glass coins! The coin is a 30 mm ruby coin. The center of the coin is splashed with metallic colors adding depth the to piece.
The true color shows up in the 1st picture.....the 2nd picture shows the ruby color to be much darker than it shows.....the piece in person is SO much better than these photos.
Not wanting to take away from the beautiful Hill Tribe silver beads, I used a black nylon chain. Two Hill Tribe brushed round beads with tiny diamond shapes cut out are suspended on the black nylon chain.
The pendant dangle shows off yet another Hill Tribe 10x19 mm stamped silver cone. From inside the cone dangling from graduated chain lengths, are tiny cube beads, each side delicately stamped with a tiny flower. The overall effect is stunning! The black nylon chains make the silver beads and the Venetian coin pop!
The final piece!I can't thank Artbeads enough for their invitation and generosity. They carry unique beads and findings that I've never seen anywhere else. Check out their blog, Blog for Beaders, for more information and inspiration! Enjoy!

Lovely! I recently bought some of that chain and would not have thought of the way you used it. Perfect!
Thank you Diana for your kind comment. I LOVE using the nylon chain since in CA I got a chance to be in Katie Hacker's class where we created a bracelet using it!
