Beaded Bookmarks / Book Thongs!
and now -
Beaded Pens!
Beaded bookmarks, or "beaded
book thongs" as some call them, are becoming just as popular as all of the beaded, crystal, pearl and gemstone jewelry these days. I can see one MAJOR problem with these beauties - you or your loved one might have trouble concentrating on your book with these to look at! I have begun a line of beaded bookmarks which would be awesome as gifts (especially for that person who has everything!!) or for yourself. I design these at an average length of 18" which would fit a 12" or smaller book very nicely.
These exquisite bookmarks are one of my most popular gift items! Keep in mind one of these lovely beaded bookmarks for someone to use in their Bible (I know my mother would have adored this idea!). They are so pretty - I can see them as light pulls, window chains (ooh they would reflect the light so well!), and I bet there are lots of other ways you could think of to display them! As always, custom sizing is available for those oversized books. While looking through my pages of jewelry, if you spot any color combinations and/or beads, pearls, crystals, gemstones, etc. that strike your fancy, just ask me about a bookmark. If you have questions, or want to work on a custom order of your choosing, please email me. Thank you for looking!
Note: I envision these hanging outside the edge of the book with just the smallest end tucked inside to keep your place..whether they are lying on the coffee table, upright in a bookcase or on a shelf, everyone will see the beauty of the bookmark!
Or put them inside your book and let both ends dangle outside - either way if
you prefer a different design using the same beads, just let me know when you pay and I will redesign it using the same beads.
Please note: FREE SHIPPING FOR ANY TOTAL ORDER OVER $50.00! All other orders from my website will be a flat $1.85 for 1st class shipping.

honeycomb) pastel pink bead on one end with fancy bead caps and on the other end

I am not sure I can even describe these incredible beads well enough! They are so pretty - the large one is a faceted oval with shades of amber and turquoise with a smaller faceted oval with iridescent shades as well. The small one on the other end is a Swarovski faceted turquoise round that is out of production now with an aqua aura small round that sparkles! I've brought them all together with Japanese glass seedbeads in an aqua iridescent shade.

I absolutely fell in love
with these lampwork beads together and teamed with Swarovski's faceted fire opal
crystals. So much so, that as earrings they would be too big so a bookmark was
perfect! The
seed beads are a really gorgeous mix between red and orange that matches the
fire opals and the lampworks. Anyone who ends up with this one will be so
smitten by the colors they will forget to read!

Extraordinary deep aqua blue transparent beads that sport
wonderful pink and white flowers and gold swirls on one end and a coordinating

to read instead of looking at them!

I don't know if the true colors of these beads will show in this
photo. The larger bead is what is called a "wedding cake" bead in a soft blue with raised pink roses and blue dots and lots
of gold swirls. The smaller bead is a gold/coppery foil bead with a flower and
leaves. I've added a gold vermeil accent bead and gold vermeil fancy little bead
caps to bring out all the gold. The seed beads are a rich foiled look Japanese
glass that absolutely sparkles and brings out all the colors of the beads!.

Absolutely fabulous! This pewter bookmark is
engraved with "USA" on it along with some stars and wings - like a
pilot's insignia or an eagle's wingspread. I've chosen some
awesome red, white and blue faceted crystal rondelles with a Designer Glass bead
on the end to bring out the patriotism we have for our country.
Please note: I am putting these available in gold as well as silver but keep in
mind the bookmark itself is silver;I have no gold available. The accents will be
in gold, however, if that is what you choose.

This one features vintage
sapphire blue focal beads in 2 sizes both with coppery flecks inside. The
smaller bead has a pink raised rose on the outside. I've accented them by adding Swarovski
sapphire blue faceted crystals in 2 sizes. The seed beads are an iris sapphire
blue to match everything.

I have always been drawn
to raspberry - in beads it is this glorious color shown on this bookmark. The
rectangle beads on the left are actually as deep a color as the faceted rondells
on the right. The corresponding beads are very unusual - almost a crackle bead
but not really. I've used some larger seed beads that have some copper, some
deep greens, blues and raspberry mix. And topped off the smaller end with a gorgeous gold edged raspberry faceted cathedral bead. Overall a stunning combination!

I took this one off my
website because I thought I had run out of these exquisite cobalt blue teardrop
beads with a pink rose and, lo and behold, I found 2 more of them - that means I
am able to make just 2 more of these beautiful bookmarks with matching cobalt
blue larger seed beads.
Please note: I am putting these available in gold as well as silver but keep in
mind the bookmark itself is silver;I have no gold available. The accents will be
in gold, however, if that is what you choose.

A very nice, substantial pewter engraved bookmark this one has the stars and
the moon on it. I've accentuated it with what I call "raspberry" colored
beads in various shapes and sizes along with a pewter star round bead.
Please note: I am putting these available in gold as well as silver but keep in
mind the bookmark itself is silver;I have no gold available. The accents will be
in gold, however, if that is what you choose.

Another version of the stars and moon pewter engraved bookmark. I've created it with awesome purple beads in various shapes and sizes.
I have a very limited supply of both these purple beads and the stars and moon
bookmarks so I don't expect this one to last long.
Please note: I am putting these available in gold as well as silver but keep in
mind the bookmark itself is silver;I have no gold available. The accents will be
in gold, however, if that is what you choose.

Yet another stars and moon pewter bookmark this time with fabulous deep Purple Velvet and
Tanzanite Swarovski faceted crystals in various shapes and sizes.
Again not many of the stars and moon bookmarks in supply so get this while you
can. GREAT gifts!

This time the beautiful stars and
moon pewter bookmark with distinctive lime green lampwork beads and gorgeous
Swarovski crystals! Again, I have a very limited supply of both these lampwork beads and the stars and moon bookmarks so I don't expect this one to last long
either.

What a neat bookmark!! Heavy pewter engraved with a library full of books and a kitty lying along the top. I
have enhanced this one with Swarovski faceted crystals and some of the most gorgeous glass beads I've ever seen. Unfortunately the photo does NOT
do these beads justice. They are retangular, foiled with the same shades of blue as in the crystals and silver and gold and they remind me of books. Really
pretty and unusual!
Please note: I am putting these available in gold as well as silver but keep in

in gold, however, if that is what you choose.
