Introducing Lucite Beads

I just recently found out a new kind of bead - Lucite beads.
Only just Lucite itself gives a plastic look to the jewelry piece and no reflection so I mixed with Crystal to give the piece a shinning effect. It worked well!

Another piece I made over the weekend. A combination of Lucite filigree from Germany + gold plated filigree + Rose Carved Lucite Bead + Rhinestones, it came out vintage just as I wanted it to be. I love this piece - the colors and filigree really give the feminine feeling. It is a long necklace with a 50 mm pendant.

Rhinestone and Crystal Works

 

My current exploration on Crystal and Rhinestone.

This set costs about 1 hour worth of laboring plus less than $5 for rhinestone and metal elements.
