What does the word ‘bling’ mean to you?  To me, it is jewelry with some sparkle to it.  I have found that many women who say they are not into bling actually select pieces with a bit of spark.  Many of my beads are crystal or faceted fire polished glass.  When I incorporate just a few of these with stone, glass or vintage beads, the effect is subtle.  Light reflects off the crystals to give just the right touch of dazzle.
