When we say each piece of jewelry has been hand crafted, we mean that many different jewelry-making techniques are used in each design. All designs have at least one pearl incorporated into each piece, hence the name, A Grain of Sand. Now we offer you your own jewelry-making kit and bead bracelet kit so—at home—you can complete some famous jewelry designs. Your bead jewelry kit comes with everything you need. Your bead kit comes with design instructions, beads, clasps, skeletons and more! With a bead jewelry kit from A Grain of Sand, you win with every bead you string.

Vintage Coco Chanel Gold Plated Necklace with Style!!! - JB    
Adjustable from 31 - 35" long. This is made of nice substantial gold plated 3mm beads in a double strand flowing fashion with a stunning chain connection and the finishing touch that is sensational. You need to check out the enlargement of this one. The Coco Chanel Car-touche is present as the finishing touch. How very Channel is that?

Vintage Lucite  Apple Juice Hoop Earrings    
27mm hoops. Aren’t these simply fabulous? There were found among old designer jewelry components. They have the look and the feel and the sound of bake-o-lite, but we believe that they are Lucite. The posts and clutches are steel. The look is retro! Gotta have a pair just for the fun of it.
