Something Romantic

Bead Trends is taking submissions for their Feb. 2011 issue. One of the categories is 'It's About Romance'.

Back in Feb of 2009 one of my pieces 'Loves First Kiss' was published in a similar category, for romance and love.



What inspires romantic jewelry? I did a Google search for the word romance and found these images. Maybe they will inspire you to create a new piece!
