I’m always surprised at how attractive clear glass beads and jewels are. Of course part of that is how they’re cut (faceted). Diamond cutters know what they’re talking about – the faceting makes all the difference. But you don’t have to own diamonds to have some pretty jewels to work with. Case in point:
Pros and cons:
Pro – they go with everything;
Pro – they’re clean lined and attractive
Pro – they don’t cost much, whether in brass or silver settings;
Pro – with the addition of earwires, voila, you’ve got a fun new pair of earrings.
Con – okay, they aren’t diamonds.
I can’t think of any more. These are fun!
