What I made today: Garnet Cubic Zirconia


Posted by Picasa

A week ago I got to choose some Cubic Zirconia beads from Artbeads . I decided to make a necklace and a pair of dangling earrings. Artbeads have quite a large selection of Cubic Zirconia beads in many shapes and colors, check them all  here. 
They add glamour , a touch of  sparkle to any of your beading projects. You can dress up your little black dress with a stunning necklace made of a mix of different  colors of Cubic Zirconia.  I chose 4 mm and 6 mm faceted bicone in the Garnet color I wire wrapped them with Garnet beads. The focus bead is a faceted Oval drop Garnet and it is even more prettier in person. For the earrings I used 2  flat faceted teardrop for the earrings. I combined them with Vintaj brass.
I think the deep color of the Garnet shines more with the chocolate brown suede and the brass chain. Be sure to stop by Artbeads and check all the beautiful Cubic  Zirconia they have in store.

Disclosure: "I do not get paid by Artbeads for blogging about their products. It is a joy for me to this for them. They sent me beads for free because I am part of their blogging progam."

All those designs and wearings looks so pretty. The colour of the garnet stone is awesome looking and it has nothing that could equal it.
Thanks for sharing those nice collections.
