... like ID badge laynards. So I'm forcing myself away from the computer, I'll finish the other project I have on my studio table, then knuckle down and do what I SUPPOSED to be doing.
Or maybe I should hide under a rock.
I did list this on Etsy yesterday and you can find it here at a great price ($16). It worked up easy and fast and the rings are gold plate, not gold fill, so the price is very reasonable.

Close View - Cloisonne Bead
Cloisonne is one of my favorite type of bead. Finding nice quality cloisonne isn't hard, but there's a LOT of junk out there. This is one of those things one gets what one pays for. You will not find quality cloisonne beads at $3.00 a strand.
But there are reasonable sources out there. One of my favorite sources is Bally Beads in Rockwall, Texas. If you're in the area, check them out. They used to be wholesale only, but they have now opened a portion of their shop to the public for both beads and finished jewelry. They are not the easiest to find, even with address in hand. They are located in a house near the shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, set back in the property from Ridge Road. It's easy to miss their driveway. But they are worth seeking out!
I like the vintage look of this bead. At the moment, this is in both a bracelet and a pair of earrings paired with the mobius chainmail florette.

Mobius MOP of Beautiful Pastels
I loved working these bracelets up! The colors of these mother of pearl coin beads are so soft and pretty. For the Etsy listing, I used the pale mauve bracelet and earrings, but I like this photo the best from that shoot. I'm using this photo in both the bracelet and earring listing to show the color choices available.
The soft colors play against the hardness of the chainmaille florettes. I'm having fun with this mobius weave.
