I came across this great new bead jewelry line a while back, Halia. With the beads and beading simply exploding over the last couple of years, thank you Pandora, I wasn’t terribly surprised to a slightly more elegant bead jewelry line to appear.

Halia offers the fairly usual assortment of silver charms and cable bracelets, many with gold accents, but what I really like are the carved gem charms. The carved gems are made in stones such as amethyst, carnelian, and blue topaz and look simply elegant. The other beads that really grabbed my attention are the Murano Charms.

The Murano beads come in many colors and patterns and are simply stunning. I may pick a few up for myself.

Halia beads are reasonably priced, starting at about $19 each, and most definitely worth taking a closer look at the next time you are shopping for some charms.
