Adding the Chelsea Taylor Block O Bead to Your Collection

While the picture of the Chelsea Taylor Swarovski Crystal Block O Bead to the right is a good one, there is no way to adequately capture the true beauty of the bead, which looks just as good by itself, as it does in combination with other beads. The true beauty of the bead is in the elegant design, and the high quality of unsurpassed Swarovski Crystal rhinestones that add both color, and dimension.

The rhodium plating keeps the sterling silver from tarnishing, so you do not have to worry about keeping the bead in a tightly sealed package nor polishing it before each wearing.

Lake Erie Artists Gallery Stocks The Chelsea Taylor OSU Bead

The bead is quite popular with OSU fans, and Lake Erie Artists Gallery will post on the website when they are in or out of stock.

Show your school spirit

The Velvet Box, a family owned Cleveland company, makes a full line of school spirit beads. Due to the fact that they are based in Ohio, the OSU collection is the most popular of their school spirit line, and Lake Erie Artists Gallery stocks the OSU colors, and beads at all times. But if you are from another part of the country, then you can order these beads in your school colors, and The Velvet Box will make them to order in about 2 to 3 weeks.

The Velvet Box makes beads from molten glass, using a lampwork bead technique, then lines each bead with sterling silver. These beads are a beautiful addition to any add a bead bracelet or necklace line, and they also look great on any leather or silver cord.

Each Bead is Truly a Piece of Art

Lampwork beads are made by hand, one at a time, on a flaming torch using glass rods. The artist makes each bead, one color at a time, using a different piece of glass to create all of the design elements for each bead. It is very difficult to have a steady hand when making lampwork beads, and the high quality of the beads made by The Velvet Box is evident in each bead. They are truly a tiny piece of art.
