Some More New Beadies

are for sale in my little bead shop. I am hoping that in the near future, my little bead shop will be my not so little bead shop.

Sparkling Faceted Black Melanite Garnet Rondelles


Berry Red Faceted Garnet Oval Beads

I would love some feedback from readers and jewelry makers about what kind of gemstone beads and supplies you would like to see in my shop that I don't currently have. While we're at it - are there items in my shop that you would like to see more of (or less of)?

I would love to know your opinions and ideas, because without you there wouldn't be a Bacchus Beads. I truly appreciate all of the support and repeat business I have received from my friends at Etsy. Thank you!!

It's Almost Fall, Can you Feel It?

I have some new fall inspired gemstone beads in my shop that I just recently listed for purchase. I actually have some more gemstones perfect for the changing season, but I am going to hold onto them for a bit. I plan on using some of them for my own jewelry designs and am not sure yet of how much I am going to part with for Bacchus Beads.

Hessonite Garnet, Faceted Oval Beads


Green Amethyst, Faceted Oval Beads


Hessonite Garnet, Onion Briolettes
Hessonite Garnet reminds me of leaves on a tree changing color, as they turn from yellow to orange, red and brown. These beads have a less gemmy quality and are much more organic in color and texture.

Green Amethyst, which is also called Prasiolite is perfect for fall jewelry pieces as well. It is a transparent gemstone that is a very unique shade of green, which I can best describe as a mint or moss green. It is one of my new very favorite gemstones, especially because it pairs so beautifully with Labradorite.

I am working on a new necklace that features both green amethyst and labradorite - so be sure to check back soon.
