So hard to pick three...But, I decided to go to three of the shops that I always find myself looking at...and (mentally) drooling over...
1) Gwenbeads - Rivoli Sunflower Chain Link Necklace - Blue and Sterling Silver Bling - SO pretty, and I love the look of the rivolis with the drop beads...
2) time2cre8 - Modern Metals - Peyote Beadwoven Cuff...I LOVE the colors and swirliness in this bracelet...VERY pretty!
3) sandree - Purple Variations Boro Lampwork Bead Set...love the purples in these beads! I love looking at pretty lampwork beads and wonder about the time and energy that must go into making such pretty things :o)
