Beads |
If
you request more expensive beads, additional charges may
apply. I will contact you after you place your order to
go over the customization. Let me know what stones or colors
you prefer.
I work
with Swarovski crystal and they come in many colors, sizes
and shapes. I also have 14k gold plated beads as well as 18k and 24k gold plated Vermeil beads (a sterling silver bead that has been gold plated). I also have fabulous semi-precious stones including
but not limited to: lapis, malachite, pearls, jasper, jade,
agate, citrine, peridot, coral, amazonite, aventurine, ruby
zoisite, quartz, amber, hematite, moonstone, tiger eye,
turquoise, amethyst, labradorite, kyanite, mooakite, garnet,
obsidian, jet, tourmaline and howlite. I am always on the
look out for more and new fabulous beads that are suitable
for my work, so you can make suggestions!
What are vermeil beads?
Vermeil is .925 sterling silver, heavily electroplated with 10Kt fineness, or more, of yellow gold. Vermeil products carried by Custom Equine Works are usually in the 18Kt to 24Kt range of fineness. The thickness of the gold electroplate must be a minimum of 2-1/2 microns of fine gold. All Vermeil Beads are directly imported from Bali Indonesia.
What are Hill Tribe Silver beads?
Every bead and component is beautifully hand-crafted by expert silversmiths from the Hill Tribes in Thailand. Made from a higher purity silver than sterling silver, fine silver (93-99%) offers a brilliant metallic luster and a greater resistance to tarnish.
