Rondelle Beads

By Sandy Paluzzi
   The Bead Peddler
®

Rondelles are one of my favorite shapes.  Here they are used to good effect by designs in beads who hangs an oval pendant in the center of the piece.  The shape of the focal point works well with the shape of the rondelles.
chrdesigns designed this Czech glass necklace which alternates rondelles with petal beads.  The beads themselves are so interesting that you want a classic design to show them off.
Here fiveforty uses  exquisite vintage rondelles to create the focal point of a pearl necklace.  Notice how the chocolate brown of the pearls is echoed in the ridges of the rondelles.
This is a definite WOW!  stavroula mixes shapes and materials to create a fun filled, colorful necklace that is sure to elicit attention
SouthwestFlare  proves you can't have too much of a good thing.  The vibrancy of the red rondelles is broken only by the silver connector. 
danaleblancdesigns takes graduated rondelles and pulls together a great business or casual look.
Blue Wave Jewelry uses her rondelles sparingly to add drama to a bevy of golden chains.  This necklace would be great at the beach, at a formal affair or anywhere you want a period look.
Meylee K has taken the time to wire each bead in this necklace.  The payoff is a beautiful feminine piece that's perfect for all your lighter moods.
BeadWire has woven chain through the center of her big rondelle to give it a flat look.  Rondelles on top of the centerpiece and again on the very end give a unified look to the focal point.
Here rondelle beads form the frame for the center focal point of a great necklace done in one of my favorite colors.  Design by Rough Magic Creations
Alyson1234's necklace is both flapperish and very up to date with many rondelles hung down the center drop of this chain necklace.
The wrapped copper forming the bangle part of this bracelet echoes the shape of the rondelle beads.  Design by zeldabloom
TouchOfSilver  alternates stations of howlite turquoise with silver to create a very rich look. 
crystalglowdesign has large rondelles circling the wrist.  Smaller rondelles dangle between the beads.  The effect is a shimmery circle that would work with any size wrist.
I can't think of rondelles without thinking of crystal studded rondelles.  Typically they separate pearls or crystals.   Greecian throws us a curve here by using them as the center portion of her bracelet.  This is one surprise I definitely like.
The swirl  chandelier earring top looks great with the dangling rondelles.  Design by  OklahomaMama
These earrings by DazzlingDesignsX3 speak to me of quiet elegance.  I would wear these often.
Mixing shapes is all the mode this year and CarolWall does it well with these chandelier earrings.
Chains are another of this season's hot trends, but these earrings by empressi look timeless to me
Jennifer magnesi uses restraint to create a pair of charming every day earrings.  Sometimes, less is more.
The shape of the rondelle is just perfect for sliding on an earring hoop.  Design by CurlyPearl
poppy about shows a touch of whimsy by using her rondelles as clappers for brass bells. 
There's a lot going on in this pair of earrings by my cellar door.  Yet all the varied components present a unified look in earrings that are easy to wear.
