My current bracelets, LE China, Lithuania, South Africa
I have had two bracelets for some time, but I splurged on a Mexico lock. Simply stated, I got to play with my beads and this is what I came up with:
LE Chinese Silvers
I bargained hard and got $400 knocked off this set. It was a total splurge and the bill was still shocking, but I have NO guilt. I first put all of the prisms I had in between the beads, but it didn't look right. Then, I put in all of my blue TBs and that looked better. Lastly, I tried this combo and I am pretty pleased with it. The thing is, I am not a matchy matchy bracelet designer, so the uniformity of the LE silvers are, to me, hard to work with (but I still love and cherish them). The different silvers in between give the bracelet a funky shape that I crave.
South Africa
I also took the plunge and obtained the SA set. I have adored the Lion from afar and everyone's combos with the set really grew on me. Please take a close look and find the OOAK tiger-ish bead I just got from iluvallbeads on 7/23.
Lithuania
Last, but not least, is my Lithuanian bracelet. After I took the photo, I realized that I left out the Baltic Gold bead. I used the Runes instead because it is newer and huge. I bought the Christmas bead before I got the Lithuanian glass knowing that I would eventually get the glass (my favorite of the WT). The L bead stands for the country, but also my son's name. I thought I would have to buy more red and green beads, but I am pretty happy. I would also like to add the Mushrooms, but that is one I don't mind waiting for.

I love, love, love your all silver one, it really is fabulous! It's given me ideas that I am going to have to copy (sorry) as I have the zodiacs and wisdom. Brilliant!
