            There truly isn't a bead on this page I'm not thrilled with. Click on each picture for a better look, then use your back arrow to return to this page.

Name: Ansteorra Star

This star is done using a water slide decal that I make up myself. Due to the curvature of the bead, the rounder the bead, the smaller the star has to be to lie flat - as you can see in the picture. Star can be on one or both sides of the bead. This bead is made when ordered so you can get the size you want in the shape you want. Shapes are: Coin, Oval, Lentil, and Standard. The Coin shaped beads are about the size of a quarter, but can be make smaller. You can see the comparative sizes of the other beads, but can be made smaller as well. Hole size is usually 3/32", which is ideal for putting on a cord (luceted cord is my favorite to use). Made of Italian Glass.

Here is mine on a luceted cord.

Price: $15/bead

Name: Custom Bead

 Put your SCA Arms, Badge, or Award on a Bead! Actually it will be on a decal on a bead. Obviously, your bead won't be made until you order. The Artwork must be supplied in an electronic ready-to-use image. The art will be placed on a white bead, unless the image has no color (as in the Ansteorra Star beads). Extra decals can be ordered when you place your bead order, but the maximum size of each decal may only be 1/2". Made of Italian Glass.

Price: $15-20/bead

Name: Malachite Dreams

This set has the look of Malachite with depth, but it's made of German Glass. You get the heart and the 8 graduated beads. I love the way this turned out. Imagine how this set would look like with a white ILY hand on the heart.

Size: The heart measures 14 mm hole to hole and 20 mm across. The largest of the spacer beads measures about 11 mm and the smallest measures about 5 mm hole to hole.

Price: $30

Name: ASL-ILY

Most beads can have an ASL-ILY on it. There is no charge for me to put one on the bead for you - just let me know that you want one. Please keep in mind that these are black and might not show up well on dark beads.

Price: $NC
