Tropical Punch Bracelet

As refreshing as a Mai Tai on a hot summer day, this 8" bracelet features lampwork glass beads in orange with white flowers and white with yellow polka dots. Accents are provided by Bali vermeil bead caps and Swarovski crystals in an incredible color called "fire opal." The clasp is a 14kt gold-filled lobster claw.

I guess growing up in Hawaii and Southern California I've always been near the ocean and that must be why I'm always drawn to beads in "watery" colors. These furnace beads are a perfect example. Part of a set by San Diego glass artists Mingo & Asho, they are gorgeous in shades of aqua, blue and gold. I've paired them with aqua Czech firepolish beads, tanzanite rondelles and Bali vermeil beads. The clasp on this 7" bracelet is a 14kt gold-filled lobster claw.

More of these beautiful "watery" furnace glass beads. This time paired with aqua Czech crystal rondelles and Bali vermeil. This 7.5" bracelet is finished with a 14kt. gold-filled toggle clasp.

In anticipation of summer, these earrings feature Czech glass teardrops and rondelles in sky blue and cool, lakewater blue. Citrine chips are added for that dash of summer sunshine. Delicate gold earring tops and gold filled French hooks complete these 2.5" earrings.

Striped Sky Earrings

A pair of David Christensen furnace glass beads features a sky blue background and pastel stripes. The earrings are 2" in length and include sunny yellow Swarovski crystals and Bali silver spacers.

The cool limes and aquas of this bracelet remind me of a summer swimming pool - so cool and refreshing and just begging me to dive in! Come take the plunge with Chinese lampwork, Czech crystal and Bali silver on a sterling silver chain. Total length is 7".

These slices of David Christensen's furnace glass sparkle in refreshing shades of pineapple, honeydew and canteloupe with dashes of lemon, lime and orange. I've added some Bali silver, Czech crystals and Swarovski crystals and strung everything on a 7" sterling silver charm bracelet with a lobster clasp. It's a perfectly refreshing summertime concoction that will go great with a sun dress and a tan! See the matching earrings here. Be sure to scroll down the appropriate entry.

More David Christensen furnace glass in bright citrus and melon shades. Czech and Swarovski crystals and Bali silver add the perfect accents. Total length is 7". See the matching earrings here. Be sure to scroll down the appropriate entry.

Cobalt blue lampwork beads with fresh accents of white and green are accented with Czech and Swarovski crystals to make up this 7" bracelet. Eyelet is a hot trend for the summer and this bracelet would be a perfect accent to a white eyelet sundress!

Blue and yellow have to be one of my favorite color combinations (go Bruins!) so I was thrilled when Luna Beads put this set up for sale. The bright yellow roses look really stunning against the royal blue background and I've accented them with Bali silver and Swarovski crystals. The clasp on this 8.25" bracelet is a sterling silver heart-shaped toggle. Again, because of the size of the beads, this fits a wrist size of 7.75" or smaller.
