Pandora's June stone

It's simple but pretty! June's birthstone is Moonstone and Pandora celebrates it with a Moonstone gem at the center of this silver flower. Apparently the whitish-blue colour changes hues depending on the light. Has anyone seen it? Pandora's June Moonstone bead costs $90 CAD.

Design and Inspire Contest!

Persona has another design contest! They were hinting about it last week in their Club Persona email but I didn't notice until this morning. I just submitted my first design and would love if you voted for it. I'm not confident it will be the design that will win it but in this contest you can have unlimited entries (unlike the last one that had a limit of 5). So I'm going to design another one later this week when I get some time! If you want to vote for my first design, you can see it here: http://www.personaworld.com/contest/entry.php?id=163

Pandora's Teapot Charm

Pandora's Teapot Charm was just featured as Great Britain's charm for Pandora's 'Around the World' collection. I think this bead is a perfect fit for Great Britain for obvious reasons. But aside from being a good fit for Britain, this bead reminds me of the tea parties I had as a little girl. I bet I'm not the only one! Pandora's Teapot charm is $45.00 Canadian.

Troll's Black Squirrel Bead

Troll's Black Squirrel bead is one of their many attractive glass beads. This bead actually reminds me of a chipmunk more than a Black Squirrel because of the brown and beige colouring but I love it nonetheless. I started to get into these naturally tones lately, how about you? Black Squirrel costs $31.00 CAN.

Persona's 'Illustrious Silver' bead

Persona's Illustrious Silver bead features cubic zirconia crystals held in a sterling silver weave. The description on Persona's website is exactly what I think of when I see this bead. It looks grand and royal but also delicate. Illustrious Silver costs $35 CAN.

Pandora's Silver Ribbon Bead

Pandora's Silver Ribbon Bead No. 790545CZ features a row of CZ crystals going right down the center of the bead. I really like the combination of silver and clear crystal but I think what draws me to this bead the most is the texture created by each individual horizontal line. Pandora's Silver Ribbon Bead costs $105 CAN.

Happy Holiday Charms!

All of the big design brands came out with some beautiful beads and charms this year. I thought I'd share a few of my favorites: Pandora's Santa Sleigh, Trollbeads' Icebear and Persona's Snowflake!
