Holiday Beaded Lanyards - Two Holiday Wearability!
In today’s tighter economy, we look for ways to stretch our dollars and get more for our money. One solution I have for getting more for your dollars while indulging your need for “bling” is pretty beaded lanyards for holding your id cards, security keys, etc. designed to be worn for two different holidays. Now you can purchase a pretty beaded lanyard that you can wear for two different holidays and stretch your dollar’s value. Actually, you can really wear the beaded lanyards any time you like, all year around and not just for the holidays, but I wanted to give you a few suggestions too. You can see all of my beaded lanyard id holders at KC Bead Designs/Beaded Lanyards.
Two Holiday Red and Silver Beaded Lanyard Id Holder - Christmas and Valentine’s Day Wear - pretty red seed beads with 6mm transparent red round beads and silver lined #8 seed beads give this pretty beaded lanyard double holiday wear and all year round wear if you love red.
Two Holiday Multi-Shade Red Beaded Id Badge Holder - Christmas and Valentine’s Day Wear - pretty red size #6 (4mm) seed beads in multi shades of red give this pretty beaded lanyard double wear and all year round wear if you love all red.
Two Holiday Green Silver Clear Beaded Id Badge Holder - Christmas and St. Patrick’s Day Wear - pretty medium green 4mm cube beads with silver lined #8 seed beads and crystal clear seed beads give this pretty beaded lanyard double wear and all year round wear if you like green.
Another practical jewelry item that can have double holiday wear are eyeglass lanyard chains. Here are some of the ones featured for double duty wear. You can see all of my beaded eyeglass chain lanyards at KC Bead Designs/Beaded Eyeglass Chains.
Two Holiday Red Cube Eyeglass Chain Lanyard - Christmas and Valentine’s Day Wear - pretty beaded eyeglass chain lanyard has ruby red matte 4mm cube beads surrounded by rainbow finish red seed beads and has silver fluted bead ends with black elastic retainers. This pretty eyeglass chain lanyard is suitable for double holiday wear and for those who just love red!

This pretty eyeglass chain lanyard is suitable for double holiday wear and for those who like red, white and gold.
Now you can stretch your dollars and get affordable beaded jewelry for practical wear and Holiday Wear at the same time.

New Necklace Sets - Reflections Shop
I have added some of my newest necklace set designs to Reflections…Beaded Jewelry by Cheryl Skeens shop. These are fun fall and winter designs made with resin pendants and lightweight glass and acrylic beads. I have used 24k gold over stainless steel beading wire as part of the design. This beading wire looks like beading chain and I have used several strands together to string the beads for a more substantial look.

Holiday and Seasonal Earrings Are Here!
November is here and I can’t believe time has gone so quickly. It seems like we were just enjoying our summer time. Our fall autumn season came and went in our region without getting to enjoy many warm colorful days. We went from wearing short sleeves straight to warm jackets without missing a step. I’m not sure how many nights it has already dropped below freezing but we haven’t had any snow yet!
All this means that the holiday seasons are quickly approaching and people will be thinking about Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas gifts wrapped under the tree. People will be planning family get togethers, office parties and dinners, and shopping for those special gifts for their loved ones.
Here is where I can help you find unique gifts at affordable prices to make your holidays brighter with less stress than from Mall shopping trips. Shop online and miss the crowds.
Here is a preview of some of my holiday and seasonal earrings for this year:
Pearl Snowman earrings have top hat and colored wire scarf or a variation for the Snowman earrings has a crystal rondelle at the neck for a scarf. I have clear crystals and colored crystals. Snowman earrings available here.
I have Swarovski crystal Christmas tree earrings in both clear crystal with colored crystal base and topper and emerald green Swarovski crystals with golden shadow and copper crystal base and topper crystals. You can choose the style of ear wire you prefer as one of the options when you purchase the earrings here.
New for this year I have Angel Earrings. Their wings are silver cast metal and their bodies are Czech glass teardrop beads. You can find the angel earrings here.
’till next time!

Jewelry for the Bride, Prom, Formal Dances
This is the time of year I start thinking of high school dances, college formals, holiday events and lovely winter weddings. I can design jewelry to match your special dress with sparkling Swarovski crystals or add that accent color you wanted to highlight. I can create jewelry for your entire wedding party so that each necklace is a little different but all coordinate and complement each other. I can create a signature necklace set for the bride that no one else will be able to buy so it will be her necklace and earrings alone. When you have a style in mind and you just can’t find it at your local stores, contact me and I will work with you to bring your necklace and or earrings idea to life for you.
My custom designs are very affordable and may not cost any more than you would pay for a crystal necklace and earrings at your local department store. Don’t buy off the rack when you can own unique one-of-a-kind handcrafted and beaded jewelry from KC Bead Designs - Beaded Jewelry by Cheryl Skeens. You can browse some of my designs available in my Bridal - Prom - Special Occasions category.
Here is one of my newest necklace and earrings sets for brides, prom and special occasion wear.

One Answer to “What Can I Wear With This?”
“What can I wear with this outfit?” JEWELRY is one answer! That question is a question women have asked since time has been recorded. Women have pondered this and answered it with clothes, jewelry and accessories. Early stone wall drawings show female figures wearing necklaces, bracelets, and other body adornments. Museum collections from the pyramids include gold, silver and gem encrusted jewelry pieces. Cleopatra is often shown in pictures with ornate gold and silver headdresses, necklaces and bracelets galore. Early literature and writings give detailed descriptions of the clothing styles and jewelry worn at that time. The monarchy loved their baubles, men and women alike. Of course, their stones of choice were diamonds and precious gems set in large ornate rings, crowns and other settings. The richer you were in bygone eras, the larger and more opulent your accessories.
Little girls grow up playing “dress up” and love to wear necklaces and bracelets. I remember playing in the summer at my grandmother’s house and layering on the bracelets and jewelry all the way up my arms. Of course, the earrings were mostly clip on style then and they could pinch if you weren’t careful. But I remember clipping them onto other necklaces, the dresses and shoes too for “dress up.” I think I better add a tag for “creative meanderings” to this post as I just took a little trip down memory lane.
Jewelry as an accessory is here to stay! New and different jewelry designs help you stretch your wardrobe dollars. What an easy way to add color, define your style and add bling to your outfits. Change your jewelry, change your outfit. Dress it up for evening, go big and bold or soften your look for daytime and career wear. Buy pieces that will mix and match with several color combinations. Use your jewelry to update last year’s fall and winter neutral favorites with trendy new styles and colors. Neutrals are in style for fall and winter this year too, so accessorize and update yours now.
My Color Wheel or Rainbow Crystal Necklace Set is a great example of jewelry that goes with everything! This necklace has 18 different color Swarovski crystals with jet black beads and white Swarovski crystal base pearls with a little silver accent.

Neckring Necklaces…Dressy and Casual Styles!
I’m very good at putting things away after I buy them and then the items are “out of sight…out of mind”. Back in the Spring I went to a bead show where I purchased a lot of beads and other items. One of my “out of sight…out of mind” items I “found” recently is a package of colored wire cable neckrings for making round choker necklaces.
The neckrings are all 18″ length with a screw type clasp and are cable wire that is enameled and coated with beautiful jewel tone colors. I have made pendants for the neckrings by adding bead dangles and spacers in crystals, fire-polish faceted beads, sterling silver beads and other metals.
My cable wire neckrings with Swarovski crystals or Czech fire-polish faceted beads are the perfect necklace to accessorize your bridal attendants with beads or crystals to match their dresses, to wear for a homecoming dance or fall formal, or to dress up any outfit you choose to wear. The nice thing about the neckrings is it adapts to you. You can dress it up or dress it down by combining the neckring with more casual clothing like your favorite top and jeans. The neckrings are available in sterling silver and silver plated versions also.
Here is the result of my inspiration and creativity with some of my newly “found” neckrings.
Aqua Fire-Polish Cable Wire Neckring - you can see the full description here.
Copper Pearls Copper Beads Cable Wire Neckring - you can see the full description here.
Purple Swarovski Crystals Cable Wire Neckring - you can see the full description here.
