Beautiful. With multiple chains, Czech glass beads and teardrops, brass filigree and a brass dragonfly charm. Click on the photo to see the full list of art supplies used. The new items:

Vintage Chains
8 new chains sizes from thin and delicate to heavy enough for a charm bracelet. All in a beautiful vintage brass patina.

Vine Filigree Border
Beautiful, leafy, Art Nouveau-inspired filigree in solid brass with a vintage patina.

Bail-Making Pliers
6mm and 8.5mm jaws. The “cylinder” of each side of the jaw being parallel (instead of tapering to a point like round nose pliers) makes bending filigree into curves easier (and, of course, they’re great for making bails or making your own jump rings out of wire).

Nicole Merken’s Chandelier Crystal Necklace

Gorgeous necklace with Czech glass beads and a chandelier crystal in aqua to contrast with the vintage brass. Again, click on the photo to see the full list of art supplies used. The new items:

Window Filigree
Beautiful Art Deco-inspired filigree in solid brass with a vintage patina. It can be use “as is” (without bending it) or you can bend it around a cabochon or other object (like Nicole did).

Chandelier Crystals
Imported Czech glass “beads” (a bit large for a bead) in aqua, topaz or olivine. Almost 1-1/2″ tall.

Vintage Brass Cross Charm
Brass stampings (back side is concave… see larger photo for an example). Antique brass patina. 3/4″ tall.

Miscellaneous

Double Vine Filigree
