I am one of the jewelry artists who has the awesome privilege of being on the ZnetShows Design Team. Periodically, we are asked to create jewelry using their nifty beads and findings.
This "go round" we were all provided with a lovely selection of cultured seaglass. We were asked to pick two colors. I selected Pacific Blue and Desert Gold. They added in a few extra colors for us as well, in this case - a lovely opaque purple and clear. Of COURSE I started designing before I took a picture of all the beads (I always seem to do that...). I get so excited that I dive right in. Here is a picture that will give you a good representative sample of what I received: pretty sand dollar links, long barrels, cute fish pendants, little barrels, freeform rings and more. Fun!
For this round, the designers were asked to make one daytime (casual) design/set and one nighttime (dressy) design/set.
For my daytime set, I created a casual look that was very “beachy” and fun. The cultured seaglass sand dollars, metal shells and palm trees transport the wearer directly into a tropical vacation! The Tiaria crystal adds just the right amount of shine.

For my nighttime set, I created a more elegant look. The cultured seaglass anchors the piece with a beach flavor, while the Tiaria crystal and metal add sparkle and shine fit for a night on the town.
