Use Czech leaves as the capstone to these mandala-like components built off of a circular form. Seed Beads in size 11/0 and 8/0 create a radiating effect that draws the eye to the gemstone at the center. Use 4mm Gemstones to connect each component for a bold bracelet or necklace. The components can also be used individually for earrings or a brooch.

    When you are looking at your cart, it would be helpful if the back button would put you back on the same page in the search results that you last were on. Instead, it has you go back to page 1 in your search. I always have to remember which page I was on when I want to view my cart. I go back and forth quite often, and it is annoying. Also, I was looking for storm duos in a real red, a real dark blue, and a dark teal. Didn't find any of those colors. I look for these colors a lot in purchasing other types of beads, too, and your site doesn't offer very many choices if any at all.
