I love the beads!

This piece is gorgeous !

You should consider doing a version with natural gemstones:

such as a suite of Montana Saphire or ;

Yellow grossular garnets, Spessartine garnet ( orange), Rhodolite garnet ( purple),Pyrope Anthill (Chromiferous)garnet (red).

Ooh, thank you for the idea! I'm definitely going to look into it.

!Bijartis Mar 28, 2008

You are welcome ! I think it would really be nice. If you can put your hand on well formed garnet crystal with their natural faces this could get even more interesting.

Oh, now that would be dreamy! Alas, I would surely have to journey into the world of bezel-setting. I admit, that intimidates me somewhat.

This piece is featured in my news article [link] in celebration of Artisan Crafts Month

Oh, wow! Thank you so much. ::hurries to fave the news::

That is beautiful, simply beautiful.
I don't know much about this, did you use a particular technique or did you make it up as you went?

~Akai-Ink Jan 18, 2008 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Thank you.

I've been learning chainmaille for about a year, and Byzantine is a style of chain weave. I just adapted the chain to work with the shape of the beads. If you'd like to learn more about it, [link] is a great website with plenty of information, tutorials and links.
