Max and Me "Everyday" Beadsets

If you have one of the Max and Me Bead Bracelets (as shown on my homepage), these sets were made for you...I also included a few single beads in case you just need a small goodie for your ring...But what's also exciting is that even if you don't have the MM jewelry, these bead holes are large enough to easily fit over the Screw Ball bracelets that I think most of us have...So, don't hesitate if you spy something you like, but don't have the hardware yet - you can still rock the casbah on your wrist...(shown are the singles, just cause they were easy to slip on quickly)...

1/8" mandrel holes, again, these boys are LARGE and IN CHARGE...I like the idea of wearing these 'every day' and then swapping out with fancier Fiore and Stella beads when the time is right...besides, these beads are a LOT easier on your pocket book than an entire set of 5 Fiore Massiccios...heh...

Single "Black"...$ 15 SOLD	Single "Cocoa"...$ 15 SOLD
Single "Capri"...$15 SOLD	Single "Golddot"...$ 15 SOLD
Single "Olive"...$15 SOLD	Single "Aqua"...$15 SOLD
"Capri Sunset"...$70 Capri beads with RAKU stringer work in rusts, ambers and pale blue... Very earthy, hippy, weird and fun...Raku does its own thing and I just let it happen...Sweet... SOLD
"Cha Cha"...$75 Well, we all know and love this color combo, and I thought about doing these with RED accents and will still do those, but the pink was just staring me in the face - so what can I do?? The single ring bead matches the set... SOLD
"Great Grapes"...$ 70 I forgot I had this color, and its just a wonderful blue- purple instead of the red-purple of amethyst...Periwinkle stringer really makes the set POP and look more purpley than you can imagine...Perfect for the summertime...mmm...grapes... SOLD
"Aqua Bevilaqua"...$ 70 A bright and shiny set that would look wonderful mixed with the Great Grape set (buy both!) I love this color of aqua...not a Moretti color, its richer, deeper, more juicy than what you're used to... SOLD
"Dusty Treasures - Denim"...$75 I think these beads look like you dug them up, one of my favorite aspects of etching on silvered ivory...Denim blue base, looks almost gray at times (thats a color that's coming up later), these are perfect with dusty worn jeans...they look smashing on the silver bracelet too... SOLD
"Dusty Treasures - Olive"...$75 I dunno what it is, but I just love this color and how it glowswhen etched...Another set of buried treasures that will look great this summer with your aqua and lime summertime dresses...with a big floppy straw hat, what a look... SOLD
"Worn Leather Belt"...$70 I LOVE this set (I own one myself) and the copper green stringer gives a wonderful sheen, like a smooth leather belt that you've worn for ages...classic..kinda sounds like 'warm leatherette', huh? 80's reference... SOLD
"Luscious Gold Dots"...$75 I think I'm listening to too much Jackie Guerra on "JewelryMaking" cause she uses the word 'luscious' a lot...these are classic, dressy, timeless beads that are gorgeous at this size...yowza.... SOLD
