Cubic Zirconia Revisited

In November, I became a blogging partner with ArtBeads, and I had an opportunity to play with wonderful colors and shapes of CZ's.

Many months have passed, and I have finally replaced my computer and reloaded all my files, photos and above all, I'm learning how to use my new Mac, so I thought it was about time I shared my creations.

I hope you enjoy my creations, I certainly enjoyed the creative process, and love the unique sparkle and glitz of the cubic zirconia.

What's next?

I'll be working on a new selling site, my own website, and more blogging and creative projects.

The Legal Stuff: I have received the cubic zirconia beads free-of-charge from Artbeads.Com. I am reviewing the products honestly, from the above mentioned company, and the above post represents only the personal opinion of the blog author. I am not being compensated by Artbeads.com for my endorsement as it pertains to the products received and reviewed.

Just Fell in Love with CZ's...

Cubic Zirconia
"A synthetic gemstone, optically flawless, with a close visual to a diamond"

I recently had an opportunity to browse www.ArtBeads.Com and viewed their wonderful selection of cubic zirconia beads. I must admit, I have never owned a CZ, nor even knew that they were available in such beautiful colors, let alone in bead form.

What a pleasant surprise! Wonderful colors, wonderful shapes; rounds, square cushions, teardrops, coins, rectangles, all with beautiful sparkle!!

My selection of colors moved into the fall color spectrum and some of my very favorite colors. I believe that the orange faceted teardrops might just be my favorite of all the color shapes.

Design note:
I'm currently recovering from cataract surgery, and I can't wait to have the opportunity to make some beautiful creations from these beautiful gemstone beads. Check back soon and see how I have used these lovelies in my designs.
