Enjoy creating your own designs with our designer curated *limited edition* Luminous Heart Bead Mix, inspired by this stunning fading winter into spring color palette. Make a variety of earrings, bracelet & necklace designs featuring; three styles of Swarovski Crystals, plus a variety of Fresh Water Pearls, Hematite, Czech glass & Asian Cut Crystal beads.





In Balance Necklace Kit 
Create a statement with layers of natural brass, solid pewter and soft metallic pink leather cord, accentuated with a beautiful natural druzy stone. These organic elements give this simplistic design a sense of calm + peace. 

DESIGN TIPS: 
Add subtle texture to the solid pewter asymmetrical donut using the round end of ball pein hammer. Hammer the natural brass weathered splash pendant using the flat end of hammer. Add texture to rectangle blank and form a tube bead using our Metal Shaping Pliers. Simply clip off end of head pin, string and center the wire onto druzy bead. Bring both ends of wire up over bead and form a wrapped loop with one end. Use round nose pliers to create a coiled loop at the top to connect with a jump ring to bottom of brass pendant. Cut leather to desired length, adding an inch to loop through layered pendants. Slide tube bead over leather to rest above focal and add crimp ends, jump rings and clasp to complete your necklace. 



Perfect Harmony Earrings Kit 
Create an eye catching, centric design framed with a hand-textured, natural brass wandering pathway pendant. A subtle patina + resin effect, gives these beautiful earrings the look of a memorizing frosted glass.

DESIGN TIPS:
Simply apply painters tape or clear packing tape to the back side of two tiny hammered rings. Set flat on a non-stick craft sheet or wax paper surface. Prepare ICE Resin in mixing cup. Use the stir stick or a craft stick to apply a small amount of resin to the center of rings. Be sure resin fills opening to the edges, but does not over pour, a thin layer is all that is needed. Use a toothpick to swirl in a small amount of marble patina, leaving some areas of the resin clear. Allow to cure overnight. Once resin has cured, use your fingertip to dab on a little of the ocean pearl patina over the surface of resin, giving the white and clear areas a beautiful light blue pearlescent effect.  

 

 



Encompass Unity Necklace Kit 
Bring together simple open framed elements to create one defining focal. A beautiful patina + resin effect is the emphasis of this organic artisan necklace.  

DESIGN TIPS:
Simply apply painters tape or clear packing tape to the back side of the little organic ring (I like to do multiple at a time so I have extras for additional jewelry pieces). Set flat on a non-stick craft sheet or wax paper surface. Prepare  ICE Resin in mixing cup. Use the stir stick or a craft stick to apply a small amount of resin to the center of organic ring. Be sure resin fills opening to the edges, but does not over pour, a thin layer is all that is needed. Use a toothpick to swirl in a small amount of moss patina, leaving some areas of the resin clear. Allow to cure overnight. Once resin has cured make a small batch of resin to adhere the small ring over the edge of hammered ring to create a layered pendant. 

 
 

 



Reflective Symmetry Bracelet Kit 
Bring together gorgeous organic elements and mixing metal finishes to create an artisan bracelet.

DESIGN TIPS: 
Add three additional holes in dapped circle, to make connections on all sides. Add one hole to opposite end of organic ovals, to function as a basic connector. Simply form bead links using eye pins and making a simple loop. Use jump rings to connect dapped circle inside of slender ring and attach to dagger bead links. Attach loop of eye pin to opposite holes in dapped circle and wrap the remaining wire around slender ring to secure in place. Repeat on opposite side.
