Ribbons have been used to express solidarity on the part of the wearer with the identified cause since the early to late 20th Century. Pink Ribbons (and the color pink) are used to express support for those who are diagnosed with breast cancer and the pink ribbon is now an international symbol of breast cancer awareness.
In this bookmark, a sheer length of pink ribbon with shimmering iridescent center threads makes up the body of this beautiful beaded bookmark with pink and gold-toned beads at the ends.
The bookmark is 16.25-inch (41.3 cm) long from tip to tip.
This bookmark, like all of our bookmarks, is sure to mark your place with your own personal style without damaging book's pages by the commonly used corner-folding methods.
I use my own bookmarks not just in books I'm reading but also in my date book and journal to make it easy to turn to the current day's log.

Saturn's Rings - Handcrafted Choker Necklace
I loved working with this pendant because the colors contained within presented a challenge for me. Such an unlikely pairing, it drew my eye when I first saw it in the store and I knew it would be a project that would take some work and creativity to finish.
This colorful and classy lampwork pendant is now included on a strand of seed beads and decorative beading in this handcrafted choker necklace to create unique style that incorporates the colors in the pendant all the way up along the strand from pendant to nape.
The lobster claw clasp at the nape hooks to a chain that allows this necklace to be worn tight enough to be a loose choker or a little longer to lie against your chest while a small matching beaded bauble at the end of the chain gives an extra bit of decorative touch.
The length of this necklace adjusts between 17.75" to 20" in length (45 cm - 51 cm).

Cornflower Confection Blue Glass Beaded Bookmark
This is my absolute favorite color of blue. I find it to be both soothing and cheerful and I was thrilled when I found these glass beads in a thrift store downtown.
These large cornflower blue glass beads now weigh the ends of this pretty pendulum-style beaded bookmark thong made up of a cheerful but calming blend of seed beads in blue, white and silver.
This bookmark's length is 10.75" from tip to tip (27 cm) from tip to tip.
Perfect for books, journals and more, our bookmarks are sure to mark your place with your own personal style without damaging book's pages by the commonly used corner-folding methods and we have a number of styles from book hooks to thongs and even a few ribbons!
I use my own bookmarks not just in books I'm reading but also in my date book and journal to make it easy to turn to the current day's log.

The Vineyard Handmade Cluster Bracelet
The warmth of peridot and gold combine with shades of purple, cream and deep burgundy in a beautiful, one-of-a-kind beaded cluster bracelet of glass beads, gemstones and pearls.
I love working with peridot, and I love wearing it too. When I started this bracelet, I was watching the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun" and I think it probably had a lot of influence on the theme and colors that were brought together into the finished piece.
This bracelet is a beauty to behold and no amount of pictures could ever do it justice. Made with genuine peridot stones and glass pearl beads, it's both luxurious and unique and is designed to be the perfect accent whether you want to dress up a casual outfit or create a focal accent on an elegant ensemble.
I personally love cluster bracelets. The sound that they make when worn is both cheerful and soothing to the senses.
Bracelet is 8" (20.3 cm) in length including clasp.
