Relic

Looks like an old bone, right? One of those fossils that have the nice iridescence on them? Or a bone made out of iron or something, with a fabulous patina? Naw. It's just a glass bead. This is Effetre's Plum Silver, and it makes awesome heart beads, too. I've got the bone in the etsy shop, but cool as my hearts are, i haven't listed any yet.

Bound

I don't know, bound in love? bound in betrothal? bound and gagged? or maybe it's an ancient Egyptian mummified heart? In any case, it's a cool look.

Testify! Love Hurts! Valentine Beads

Naw, that's not fair. These beads are pretty pink and sparkly, but the spikes don't need to mean anything sinister. Maybe they symbolize, say, reaching out. Yeah, that's it. Love reaching out and spreading and offering warm fuzzies.

Ahem.

These ones have already sold and will be going to France, which everyone knows is synonymous with love. Fitting. Let me know if your want your own set. They are very cheery to make. :-)
