This new bracelet by Nancy Donaldson features two of our new Faux Suede laces: Emerald Green and Green.
Nancy created a interesting connection between the two different laces.
Simple ribbon/end cord crimps finished the bracelet perfectly!
Imagine this bracelet is many different colours!
Introducing the new Faux Suede lace collection!
The colour choices are fantastic and as you can imagine, they work beautifully with the new tassels!
This necklace is featured on our new banner (with matching earring) to celebrate the launch of our new line of faux suede tassels. Fernando named it “The Gold Winery.”
He carefully selected with our team: pre-made suede tassels, pre-made chain tassels, fantastic laser cut filigree hand assembled fancy chain and one of the best clasps on the market right now…exclusive to Metal Complex. I’ll give you a link to each!
The faux suede tassels are easy to see here.
The chain tassels are here.
The new fancy chain with filigree leaves is here.
Both tassel collections work beautifully together. Let’s not forget the gorgeous kumihimo braid Fernando used as a foundation for this necklace. His rattail colours are divine.
We have an exclusive new collection of glue in end caps as well. This hook and eye style will be perfect for your kumihimo and other stringing projects.
I am planning dozens of different ways to use these tassels!
Everywhere I look I see a tassel! Have you noticed this trend as well? It would seem that everything looks a little more finished and beautiful with the addition of either a small or large tassel.
So I am thrilled to showcase the new faux suede tassel collection that is now at John Bead!
Fernando DaSilva designed this new set of jewelry to introduce the line to you. The tassels combined with kumihimo and our new fancy chain looks so luxurious. These pieces will definitely take you from day time to night time. We’ll be featuring lots of tassels in the weeks ahead.
