Helen Breil has showcased her new Focal Frames on our gallery pages; sharing ideas on some of the many ways you can use these frames.

Enhance a special outfit with a custom pendant; Echo or compliment the fabric or buttons; it's inspired!

Or imagine your own cohesive line of jewelry; elevate your designs, increase the value and set your work apart with Focal Frames!

Don't forget that Flair is reversible; Daybreak has a unique double bail for multiple stringing options and Verve can do double duty as a pin. (see products page for these options)
