Countdown to Tucson 2012

Gem Mall opens tomorrow! Coin Beads 20mm

These big, bold and beautiful beads are a perfect way to show off the color swirls within Czech glass cane.  This shape works great as a focal in a simple necklace or you can pair a bunch of them with chunky chain to create a wild fashion statement.  I can imagine seed beading around them as well. Look for them near the check out station at our Gem Mall booth.
