We don't often incorporate gold into our work, we usually use sterling silver or silverplate. But at a craft show we did recently, we did get a specific request for a pink pearl and gold bead bracelet.
So...we decided to do some work with our gold bead stash, and accommodate this lovely woman. The result is three bracelets (hopefully, she'll like one well enough to buy it and if not, we'll work with her until we come up with her ideal design) and a necklace that matches one of the bracelets perfectly.
The first is pink pearl incorporated with squared-off vermeil beads:

The second bracelet we made was done with plain round beads that are goldplated:

And the third bracelet we made, which has the matching necklace, also incorporates goldplated beads, but in a lesser quantity and a different design -- flower spacers:

You can view these three pieces on our website as well as the necklace that matches the third bracelet!
We still have a lot of new pieces to add -- we were doing a great job of getting them going for a while, but we were interrupted (a very good interruption) with a custom order of some 30 pairs of matching earrings for a cheerleading team in Louisiana! We're done with that order now, though, and so we should be adding more new pieces to the site again very, very soon!
