Austrian Swarovski Crystal

If you are interested in making bead dangles rather than stringing beads, you will need to learn a few simple wire techniques. A bead dangle is where you thread a piece of wire through one (or a few) beads and either make a loop in one end of the wire (if using a headpin as your wire), or a loop in both ends of the wire. The loops allow you to join bead dangles together or to other components like earring hooks or chains.

The loops can be 'wrapped' which is where extra wire is wound around the loop (and sometimes the beads too) as an embellishment. This method is more secure than simple loops.

Polymer Clay, beads, and wire go hand in hand with so many jewelry projects. It's pretty hard to just limit yourself to one style of medium or technique; there are always new things to learn!

Here's a VERY EASY to follow tutorial on how to make your own coiled wire bracelet bangle. While the bangle is shown with beads, it would be so easy to feature a gorgeous polymer clay focal bead or a fancy wired bead instead of the glass bead.

The photo shown here is the bangle I whipped up using this tutorial in just 25 minutes! How cool is that?

Most of these are genuine Austrian Swarovski Crystal Silver Jewelry. Glistening and gorgeous to make your cake the hit of the season. Think about cake jewelry for your wedding. They will say if manufacturers advertise them as having Swarovski crystal. Budget minded brides and grooms may prefer crystal toppers or crystal-look toppers which are beautiful with other options. The crystals and rhinestones will sparkle, be it in the light of the sun or by candlelight.

Some are small enough cake tops for cupcakes. There are keepsake stands and shadowboxes so the beautiful toppers, often able to be personalized, may become part of your home decor, keeping those loving memories alive for years to come.
