Zebra Marble for Trollbeads or Pandora Style Jewelry

A Beautiful Glass Charm!

Lately, I've noticed that our animal style glass charms are very popular. Our customers seem to really enjoy Doug's Leopard Spots, Tiger, and this bead in the photo, a Zebra Marble. I really enjoy these also since they are so unique.

The Zebra Marble glass charm is in our Custom Order part of our store. It can be made either to fit a Pandora or Trollbeads bracelet or necklace. If you are not familiar with our custom order beads, then please read on and I'll explain how it works.

You simply pick the beads you want and before you put the bead in your “shopping bag,” just click in the box at the top of the page to choose which style you would like to have it made in, either for Pandora or Trollbeads. Doug makes these beads to have a core that is smaller for the Trollbeads chains and a little larger for the Pandora chains. He's quite accurate and you will find that his glass beads are a perfect fit.

The Zebra Marble is crafted from Italian glass. It a style that is very eye-catching, with it's black background and a bold zebra pattern on top. Glass beads like this one, will add individuality to your Pandora or Trollbeads jewelry.

Cleaning Tips for Silver Cores on Trollbeads and Pandora Style Beads

It's Spring Cleaning Time!

I wanted to pass on a little cleaning tip that I've found works wonderfully for cleaning the silver cores of our Pandora or Trollbeads style glass beads. This also works great on any beads that are solid sterling silver or solid gold. We always use a Jeweler's Rouge Polishing Cloth on all of our silver cores in our glass beads.

And before each glass charm is packaged, I give it one last polish before it is mailed. These cloths are an excellent cleaning tool and can often be found at your local jeweler. I do caution using them though on any area of silver that has been decoratively antiqued, as it may remove some of the dark decorative details. They also work well on polishing our Eagle Bay Designs' gold spacers.

To clean the glass on your Pandora or Trollbeads style glass charm, just take a little mild soap in water and use a cloth to wipe it clean. It will work wonderfully!

If you're curious about the Red Polka Dots bead above, it is available right now at Eagle Bay Designs. (www.EagleBayDesigns.com) This is one of our new Made to Order glass charms. It can be made in either the Trollbeads style or the Pandora style. It's your choice!

Ben's Favorite Glass Bead

The other day my middle son and I were viewing new beads that his Daddy had just finished and cleaned. They didn't have a silver core inside them yet, but we find that it's always fun to see what the newest beads look like. Benjamin surprised me with his new favorite. I was expecting him to like a bright red and white bead that I was holding in my hand. Unexpectedly, he choose a new style, a pink bead!

This gorgeous bead has a light petal pink background with swirls of a darker pink on top. (Photo above. It is made for Trollbeads bracelets.) It is very pretty, but it was just not what I thought a young boy would pick!

Anyway, we are sending everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! We are truly thankful for everything we have been given.
