Men's Plum Tribal Bracelet

Men's plum tribal bracelet is a casual classic! Easy to wear; goes with everything!
The glass chevron bead is a deep plum on the outside with layers of red and white inside. I love these beads. I have them in most colors. So, if plum isn't your color, let me know color you would like.
The bead is on chocolate suede. Knotted on both sides so it won't slide around.
This bracelet is adjustable from 81/2" to 11"

OUR NEWEST PIECE (20 September 2015)

Blue Mismatched Asian Earrings/

Miniature Vase Jewelry/ 

Porcelain Earring/ 

Blue Jewelry

 

Blue mismatched Asian earrings. Blue asymmetrical Dutch earrings. It doesn't matter what I call them....I LOVE these earrings. I bought a bulk "mystery" bag of porcelain beads from one of my suppliers and these were the only ones like them. Four (4) pounds of beads! They stood out like 2 diamonds!

Anyway, these little beauties hang 2" from the top of the French hook. As with all of my dangle earrings, I added a silicone back for extra security.

I accented them with cobalt pressed glass donuts and round periwinkle cultured sea glass beads.

These earrings will soon become your everyday earrings.

TREASURY TUESDAY Today's treasure is M. Scenna Jewelry Creations

Happy Tuesday!  I hope you are having a bright and sunny day!  Here, in Southern Ontario (Canada) we are having sun showers!  Rainbows all over!

Are you jealous? I am so sorry, this was not my intention.  But, if you would like to see a rainbow of colors please stop by my fried Marjorie Scenna's Etsy Shop www.etsy.com/shop/mscenna !. There is definitely something for everyone there!  With Christmas around the corner (sorry but it is), now would be a great time to start you Christmas shopping.

Marjorie is a mom, preschool teacher, museum educator and crafter with a long time love for jewelry and vintage treasures. Over the years I've dabbled in many different types of crafts but always seem to come back to making jewelry -my personal favorite!

Marjorie's jewelry isn't just any jewelry!  She breathes new life into formerly loved pieces; making them new for you to love!  But don't take my word for it....feel Marjorie's passion in her own words:

    "My unique handcrafted jewelry creations begin with recycled vintage treasures from my collection. A bead may become part of an earring or a broken piece of jewelry might find a new home in an assemblage necklace or pin. I like to play and move things around until it feels right!

My love of jewelry crafting has become a part of my daily life. My kitchen table, dining room and backyard have all become part of my shop! I like to keep things available and ready if I feel inspired to work on something.

Participating in craft shows and holiday fairs are a regular part of my process. I love meeting people, watching them try on pieces and hearing their thoughts about my jewelry. Etsy has a wonderful "upcoming market" feature for finding sellers in their local areas - be sure to check out the top of my shop's home page for that feature throughout the year and during the holiday times.

It takes a lot of spare time to make something, but when you truly enjoy it, it just has a way of happening! I look forward to sharing my beaded necklaces, bracelets, earrings, key chains and ornaments with you!"

Now it is time for me to take you on a tour of her beautiful shop...so sit back, relax and enjoy yourself!!
