Fire Diavs Jewelry Challenge - That Special Bead

The Fire Divas are having another jewelry challenge (this happens 4 times a year, so if you don't have something for this quarter, maybe you will have something for next time). The theme this time is "That Special Bead." You can interpret this anyway you like and I hope someone whom has bought my bead in the past has an item that they would like to enter to show up their jewerly creations. For some inspiration, head over to our Flickr page. You can win some fantastic prizes; see them below!
