"It matters not what part of the world you are from, whether born here or somewhere else and became a citizen, if the sight of our flag respectfully flown at half mast or waving magnificently at the Olympics or carried proudly during a parade causes a swell of emotion, then you are an American at heart. Wearing this red, white, and blue piece will leave no doubt."

Price: $11 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: Because of the way the flash caught the square beads, it is difficult to tell, but those are actually crystal (clear) with dark blue "ribbons" swirled inside. Very unusual and classy.

"Reminiscent of a fairy tale ice castle, the only color in this stunning piece (not counting the rainbows picked up by the facets) is the aqua in the two gorgeous Swarovski crystals that surround the "ice textured" center bead. This pretty frosty piece is so realistic, you truly expect to see your breath when you breathe, but believe me, this piece is hot, hot, hot."

Price: $14 (plus shipping if applicable)

These are genuine Swarovski crystals (the aqua), not an imitation. They are the perfect touch to this lovely bracelet. The glass teardrop beads have an aurora borealis exterior, which creates rainbows. A very unusual and pretty piece.

"Sometimes a brief kiss on the neck is as romantic as a long, passionate kiss on the lips. That is the thought behind this breathtaking piece. By relying primarily on various sizes and shapes of sparkling crystal, the small touches of deep ruby are as sexy and surprising as a love letter sealed with a red lipstick "kiss".

Price: $13 (plus shipping if applicable)

The picture does not begin to do justice to this sparkling gem. This bracelet consists mostly of clear glass beads of various shapes, sizes, and textures. Some are faceted, some are iridescent. All pick up the light beautifully. The touch of gorgeous ruby red beads makes this piece truly stunning. It features a lobster clasp.

"There is nothing quite as breathtaking as a rosebush in bloom. It does not matter how many times we experience their beauty, it feels like the first. The deep red buds slowly share their inner secrets. The green leaves are like the setting of a ring...necessary to flaunt the diamond, but your eye does not really see anything but the gemstone. At the end of each long stem lies a classic flower. The best part about this bouquet? No thorns!"

Price: $14 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: The brilliant apple greens, soft mint greens and brilliant reds make this a jaw-dropping bracelet. The unusual center bead is a deep and raspberry green. It's a completely unique and pretty piece!

"The boat rocks gently, like a mother rocking her child. You are surrounded by the most beautiful blue waters. The sun is warm. It is difficult not to fall asleep. The sounds of seabirds is the only thing keeping you awake. The water is so sparkling and clear in places, it is almost blinding, so you close your eyes. Unable to see, your other senses are heightened. You know the day will soon end, but for the moment, you are completely at peace."

Price: $13 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: This bracelet has a lovely blend of aquas, with just a touch of black, amber and copper. The center bead is swirled while the other aqua beads are faceted and transparent, playing off the light. The marcasite heart toggle clasp is a gorgeous touch.

"Of all the hard candies available through the years, it is difficult to outdo the butterscotch. Usually wrapped in shiny gold foil, it starts off as a visual treat. Then, as you unwrap the disk, the sweet smell wafts to your nose, making the trip to your lips seem a lot longer than it actually is. Then you place that delicious candy in your mouth and regardless of how many butterscotch candies you've had, it's a flavor that never gets old. Each time you slip this bracelet on your wrist, your thoughts will return to the simpler pleasures in life and for just a brief moment, you will swear you smell butterscotch!"

Price: $14 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: This gorgeous amber bracelet really plays up the light in person. The glass leaf in the center is iridescent and really sparkles. The photo makes it appear as if one bead is cloudy. However, that is just how the flash hit it. It opens and closes with a goldtone round spring clasp.

"This colorful and lighthearted piece brings to mind the serenity you find at North Carolina's Outer Banks. The gorgeous greens, aquas and blues can change during a storm to churning, swirling grays, a reminder that the Outer Banks protect the coast from the most vicious weather, valiantly giving a little of itself each time. After the storm passes, you may just find a starfish among the scattered shells."

Price: $12 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: This pretty bracelet has a stunning cobalt blue starfish as the center. Flanking both sides are unusual aqua and green swirl beads. This is a very colorful and fun piece.

"Each spring department stores filled with the prettiest pastel frocks imaginable. Pinks, apple greens, aquas, yellows as far as the eye could see. Easter Sunday the churches overflowed with girls in pastel dresses so stiff they could practically stand alone, their heads topped in frilly bonnets. Little boys were dapper in their white or blue suits and bow ties. As beautiful as everyone felt in their Sunday best, the children squirmed in their seats, anxious to get home to that Easter basket filled with sweets."

About this piece: Wow! This darling bracelet is the perfect spring piece. The unusual blue center bead has ribbons of white swirling across its exterior. Just a couple beads away on both sides are unique and detailed metal beads (all the rest are glass). The pink disk shaped beads (toward the clasp) have an aurora borealis exterior which plays off the light like crazy. This is just a lovely bracelet. It does run on the small side so if you don't have a petite wrist, let me resize this for you before purchase.

"You don't have to be Irish to appreciate this gorgeous bracelet. It is reminiscent of sitting on a lush green hillside first thing in the morning...the sun sparkles off the dewdrops. If you close your eyes, you\'ll feel the tiny kisses on your hands and face. Pay no mind...it's just the leprechauns proving what loving beings they are. But we knew that already, didn't we?"

Price - $14 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: Wow! It's hard to describe this sparkling bracelet, but I'll try. It is created from various sizes, shapes, and textures of crystal (clear) glass beads. Some are faceted, some are swirled, some have silver interior. One thing they all have in common is their sparkle! The touches of emerald green include the two small tubular beads near the clasp, the "cat's eye" beads, the beautiful square beads with an aurora borealis finish and last, but definitely not least, is the center bead. The center of the bead is green and the exterior crystal clear, making it almost look like a shamrock frozen in dew. Just the thing for a lovely lass.

"One of the most extraordinary aspects of love is the fact we can love more than one person "with all my heart" without ever detracting or subtracting from that other person. When we fall in love with our soul mate, it does not take away the love we have for our parents. When we have the first child, it does not take away from our soul mate any more than the birth of a second child takes away the love we have of the first."

Price - $6.50 (plus shipping, if applicable)

About this piece: These pretty earrings are silvertone medium hoops with white and silver beads along the hoop itself. Then dangling from each hoop are deep ruby red, small white "pearls" and stunning clear, white, and red swirled hearts. These pretty earrings are a perfect look for any day of the week.

"The blacks and grays of this snappy bracelet are set off by a touch of bright yellow, reminiscent of a bubbling cola with a slice of lemon floating inside. This is a very popular color combination this year. This offbeat twist on timeless black and white will never go out of style, though. Wear it now, wear it ten years from now, this updated classic will look good no matter what decade you slip it on your wrist!"

Price - $12 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece - The picture does not bring out the beauty of this piece. The beads are various shades of blacks and grays which are then set off by the bold yellow beads. In person, this is a stunning and sharp bracelet that would look great with a business suit.

"These playful earrings prove you don't have to take life too seriously. You should always take time to smell the roses, er, daisies. Life is too short not to laugh and have some fun. So kick off your shoes, wiggle your toes in the soft, green grass, and seek out a daisy or two! Don't fret over weeds or think about the lawn needing mowed. Just enjoy the afternoon. The weeds and grass can wait another day."

Price - $3.50 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: These cute earrings consist of small beads on a small silvertone hoop - copper, apple green, and cobalt blue. The center bead is a die-cut flower with blue and green spikes of color emanating from the center, giving the earrings a fun look from the front, back, and sides.

"I see beautiful handwritten letters lovingly and painstakingly scripted in black ink, spelling out undying passion and plans for eternity. The letter is lightly misted with pale pink rosewater. Tucked between the scented pages lies a single pressed leaf from the flowers he recently sent to her. The letter is sealed and bright pink lipstick kisses added for good measure. The envelope carries much more than love and desire, it carries a young woman's hopes and dreams for the future."

Price - $14.00 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: This is one sharp piece. The center glass leaf has a hint of shimmer, making it really play off the light. The square black beads have an aurora borealis finish, so they never look the same twice. Several of the hot pink beads are a crackle glass. The marcasite heart toggle clasp is the perfect finishing touch.

"Picture the most decadent black licorice - the good stuff now, not the dime store version. Now imagine it drizzled with a dark amber honey. Not the most edible combination perhaps, but certainly a feast for the eyes! This unusual twist on the classic black and white will set off any outfit and will have others asking where they can get one. Though they can clearly order a similar piece, there is only one like this!"

Price - $13.00 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: The ambers in this stunning piece do not show up well in the photo, but in real life, they are absolutely breathtaking. The center bead is also very pretty and unusual. The middle of the bead is a black but the outer portion is a light amber so it appears the black part is floating in the amber. Very unusual and eye-catching.

"Sitting in the soft glow of candlelight, you feel beautiful. The light flickers and plays off your face and his. He listens intently and watches your every move. The people around you fade into the distance. In your minds there is no one else, just you, just him. The soft blush on your cheeks doesn't go unnoticed by those around you, even if you don't seem to see them. They recognize love when they see it."

Price - $12.00 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: Such a pretty bracelet with the sharp, crisp black beads set off by the pink, mauve and white glass pearls. The center bead is a medium pink crackle glass. It has a goldtone round spring clasp. A very sweet look.

"The gorgeous rich colors in this bracelet truly look like gems a queen or princess would wear, but you don't have to be royalty to share this look. You can appear to be a blue blood just by wearing this beautiful piece. Slip this on your wrist...just don't be surprised if everyone suddenly starts curtseying!"

Price - $14.00 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: It is so difficult to photograph jewelry. The beads that look black are, in reality, a gorgeous purple. The beads that appear gold are, instead, a lovely amber. Also, the two faceted red beads (toward the clasp) are both the same, they only look different because the flash caught the aurora borealis exterior differently. This is a particularly pretty bracelet and the colors really play off each other so nicely. Nothing pastel about this bracelet.

"Your special day comes just once a year, so it's only right the world know it's your birthday! Celebrate another year. Celebrate life. Celebrate you!"

Price - $10.00 (plus shipping if applicable)

About this piece: This cute, colorful charm bracelet allows you to dress for your special day. Each bracelet will have an assortment of colorful, metal and enamel charms, but the beads dangling between the charms will vary. This particular bracelet has aurora borealis teardrop beads.

"It's no wonder there are so many terms that utilize the word "cat" - the cat's pajamas, let the cat out of the bag, cat got our tongue? Has the nine lives of a cat, like a cat she always lands on her feet. Cats are very special creatures who work their way into more than just our vocabulary, they wriggle right into our hearts! So proudly display your love of cats by wearing this beautiful bracelet. It's as fun and playful as they are!"

"When you learn someone is a dog lover, you really don't need to know anything else about them. Dog lovers realize no home is complete without a dog (or two or three or seven!). After all, who else jumps up and down for joy every time you walk through the door, whether you have been gone days, hours, or minutes? Proudly show your love back every time you wear this darling bracelet. It's as cute and playful as a warm puppy!"

"Some homes have cats, some homes have dogs, but the ideal home has both! Dogs and cats each bring their own brand of joy. Any animal lover will tell you cats and dogs are as different as night and day. But one thing they have in common is their appeal. So if you are a person with both in your life, this bracelet is for you. A home with cats and dogs? Howl purr-fect."
