Description

The listing, Giant CURLICUE Bright SILVER Wire Beads -- 1950s Poodle Style! ~FIVE w/ GIN~ has ended.

Winner receives at least TWO of these FABULOUS wire beads--they are HUGE, about the size of a quarter (sorry, forgot to add a ruler photo). You'll win THREE at 1,800 credits or more and FIVE with Get It Now~~for about what you'd pay for a $5 gift card on Listia, shipped FREE to the US and Canada. What IMPRESSIVE jewelry these will make!

These would look SUPER with my silver twist beads ... see the photo of the blue necklace and imagine THESE beads instead of the blue! To see all my listings, simply type in natahoa to the search box!

These GIANT beads would make a GREAT focal point, pendant, or pair of earrings (see the photo of earrings I also have on Listia). A fun handful of bright silver plated curlicues... reminds me of the "poodle" styles of the 1950s! A vintage idea with a modern twist, and these beads weigh almost NOTHING.

The bracelet shown is a Euro charm bracelet, but these are NOT Euro Charm beads, they are for REGULAR beading. I used a bead reamer to bend the inside of the beads to get them on the charm bracelet, but it was a little challenging. I'm sure you can do it too, but keep in mind it will take some work and the correct tools.

These do NOT have holes in the middle, so stringing the wire or headpin straight through also is a challenge ... but SO worth it. The jewelry is FUN, really contemporary, and absolutely unique!

Put in a little watch bid and come back to get 'em! You are bidding on the BEADS only, NOT any of the completed jewelry shown.

I also have a TON of great beads and findings for jewelry makers .... perfect stuff for your unique, high-end holiday jewelry and gift-making adventures! To see all my listings, simply type in natahoa to the search box!

Free US and Canada shipping. I ship on Tuesdays after my listings end Sunday and Monday nights ~~ check them out for some possible GREAT bargains!

Please do not ask me to fan you. If I'm a fan, you don't have to ask. No more fan begging please!

I wish I had a hundred of these, lol...

I have more coming so can keep relisting them for a while, but not 100 of them. They are kind of expensive in comparison to most of the stuff I list. I still haven't made something with them, maybe I'll get off the computer long enough to do that one of these months.

SCAM ALERT ... if you are bidding on a high-value item, like an ipod or other expensive electronic or jewelry item, particularly with a NEW seller, try this ... google the title and/or text of the item, then click on images -- you might see the SAME photos posted with an item for sale NOT on Listia!

A moderator just informed me that an Ipod I was bidding on was copied exactly from a craigslist ad ... photos, title and text. The seller, drewjohn32 (block him now) was answering a million comments, had a sad story (like so many Listia members), and I thought for SURE he was legit.

The point is, YOU can do the same thing as the moderators ... google search for an item that seems too good to be true, click on "images" at the top of the google search page, and if it is a scam you'll find the same item being sold on ebay, craigslist, or possibly another web site--copied, unbeknownst to the REAL seller of the item, and posted on Listia.

I think this is a GREAT tip!

Listia simply can't prevent people from coming here and perpetuating scams like this. It's up to ALL of us to police this site ... the mods can't do it all (but they do a pretty good job, IMO).

Also, feel free to copy and paste my message above on YOUR listings. I think this will help all of us feel there's something we CAN do to cut down on the scam listings and avoid a lot of disappointment this holiday season.

I LOOOOOOVE these...Glad you listed them-will keep an eye on them! You've been fanned :)

Aren't these great? I know they are expensive but they also were expensive to buy. So far everyone who has received them has loved them, they really look just as great (if not better) than in the photos. Good luck! I have more and will relist if you lose these, so watch for them.

Cool! Fanned and watching!
