Christmas Bracelet & Earrings #4 - Luthien Set



  • 15/0 seed beads Miyuki "Metallic Chocolate" (461)
  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Metallic Chocolate" (461)
  • 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Metallic Chocolate" (461)
  • 8mm Candy beads "Senegal Purple aka White Alabaster Pink Terracotta"
  • Pinch beads "Alabaster Terracotta Copper aka Chalk Terracotta Copper"
  • O-Beads "Metallic Mix"

There's something pleasing about this combination of rose and periwinkle blue and I love the shape of the motifs. Read about the first three Christmas bracelets from Teejay HERE, HERE and HERE.

There currently are no patterns available for this bracelet or the earrings but we may create them some day.




I only know of two bead sites that have the unusual Pinch beads that Teejay used to make this set. One is in England and the other is in Germany. If you have any luck finding them anywhere else, please let me know.


UPDATE: Donna Garland found some in this color on Etsy HERE.

The "Luthien Earrings" are almost the same as the "Elbereth Earrings" that I blogged about the other day. The main difference is that there are more Pinch beads in these earrings.

  1. I found lots of pinch beads in one of my favorite shops, but it's in Poland. They send items abroad though. In case anyone is interested:

    1. Thanks, Nika. I have a long list of shops that have Pinch beads HERE but I haven't had the time to look through all of them for this particular unusual color.

  3. There are pinch at Eureka Crystal Beads, and Artbeads. I believe Beadaholique and Tamara Scott Designs also carries them. My LBS also carries them, but not to many colors yet, Beadaddictiononline.com.

    1. I'm pretty sure that I checked all of those sites and they didn't have this color.
