Best wishes, Anna First Commenter:

After filling my Etsy shop parltradet with lots of skinny slim soft bangles, I decided to list some chunkier stretch bracelets for those who prefer larger beaded adornments for the wrist. This first bracelet is simply made of flat purple silverlined puff-coins and matching silverlined round beads as well as lilac seed beads as spacers. Next is a a purple version of my standard elegant stretch-choker with stretch-bracelet set. I have changed the pattern slightly, making it, I think, a little more comfortable to wear. And I am finally stocking my shop parltradet with colour-coordinated earrings. These cube-shaped earring with antiqued brass findings go with all of the purple pieces. I will stock several models of purple earrings and, naturally, even ones with sterling silver findings too. For my Etsy shop AnnasAdornments, that carries everything and anything that is NOT stretch-jewellery, I have listed a purple heart pendant necklace which is not new, but appropriate for Valentine's ...

Should I list these new pieces? (I'm linking up with Mellow Yellow Monday #90 , Smiling Sally's Blue Monday and The Work of the Poet's Ruby Tuesday .) These are stretch bracelets in the ususal fall colours, yellow-orange-red. You can were several on your wrist or... Or just one together with a watch or alone. This first patteren has a lot of different coloured glass beads in it. But I am also working on simpler patterns with one predominate colour, such as this yellow stretch bracelet: Another innovation is that I am stringing two sizes of glass seed beads (size 6 & size 8) to get a more varied texture in even one-coloured designs such as this entirely cobalt blue stretch bracelet: The most important fall colour this year is purple. Here are some stretch bracelets in colours that range between red and blue : And as with the yellow - orange - red bracelets, you can wear several or just the one: You have seen my latest 'skinny' stretch bracelets that I have ...

Purple is a wonderful colour in winter. If you are wearing black, it gives you that little extra sutble touch of colour! Think purple, violet, lavender, mauve and auburgin! Wonderful hues between red and blue. This stretch necklace is available from my Etsy-shop "parltradet". For more details please click here. First commenter: Theresa's Treasures
