Big, Bold, Vibrant Chunky: New Wood Bead Necklaces at My Modern Beads Shop!

So in my last post, I mentioned wanting to make something small and delicate - the Simple Circle necklaces did the trick. Apparently to balance things out, I needed to make something that was big and bold. The chunky, in-your-face, go-big-or-go-home beads in these necklaces refuse to be ignored. Can you handle them? I believe that you can.

These babies are one-of-a-kind, so if you like one, grab it. They are only available in my Modern Beads Etsy shop, and are $12 buckaroos each.

New in My Modern Beads Etsy Shop

I sure do love making minimalist modern necklaces with beads and sterling silver. I don't seem to find the time to do it as much as I'd like. But whenever I do, I am usually so satisfied with the results! (Um, if I do say so my own self...!) 

Here are my latest simple bead necklaces - all available in my Modern Beads store at Etsy. They're all made with very special beads from my stash, and they're all priced affordably - $12 each! Enjoy : )

My Other Etsy Store...Modern Beads














Did I forget to mention my other Etsy store here? Uh, guess so. I launched Modern Beads at Etsy a while back as a place for my "minimalist modern" bead and sterling silver earrings and necklaces. 

I developed a real love for beads. However I maintain my dislike for fussy bunches of beads. Just one or two at a time, please. Three tops. What developed was a minimalist modern look. I started with earrings, and all my friends seemed to love them. And I wear them all the time too. So I decided I needed to have a venue to give me the excuse to keep making them - and to keep my jewelry box from overflowing. I uploaded a few new pieces the other day - hope to get this store stocked up again for Spring soon!

By the way, I use mostly repurposed or thrifted beads for the pieces at Modern Beads, so each necklace or pair of earrings is extremely limited edition -- some are one-of-a-kind. If you want first dibs on new Modern Beads pieces, you can RSS the shop feed. Isn't that cool?
