I'm combining four separate offers into a single post here because these items are all similar enough in construction and pricing and I'm too tired to make four separate posts right now; so please note that the bid minimum/buy-it-now price is for just ONE zipper pull, not all four! :)
Offer: one handmade beaded zipper pull/clip-on charm of your choice; large glass beads in various styles including lampwork and encased beads, plain or plated steel findings in gold and gunmetal finishes, with lobster-claw clasps to clip onto jacket or handbag zippers, necklace cords, embroidery scissors, pocket watches, cell phone charms, you name it!
From left to right in the picture below, the individual offers are as follows:
Pull #1 -- "Raindrops" (light blue) (Sold and shipped)
Large opaque-core translucent glass beads in shades of aquamarine and light blue, on steel/silvertone findings. Some beads have a faint surface iridescence, others (particularly the large teardrop) have a lot of interesting bubble inclusions. Roughly 2.75 inches/7 cm long, the largest bead is about 1/2 inch/1 cm across at the widest point.
Pull #2 -- "Chiaroscuro" (black/white/clear) (Sold and shipped)
Large irregularly shaped opaque black oblong glass beads, alternating with smaller round beads with swirling black and white lampwork encased in clear glass, on black/gunmetal finish plated steel findings. The lobsterclaw closure on this one is extra-large, helpful if you're looking for an attachment sized to fit things like thicker outerwear zippers, heavy necklaces, etc... The largest beads here are roughly 1/4 inch/7 mm wide and 1/2 inch/12 mm long; total length of the charm is about 3.5 inches/9 cm.
Pull #3 -- "Fairuza" (turquoise/gold) (Sold and shipped)
Large opaque turquoise beads, most ornamented with a shimmery gold-metallic surface swirl, on goldtone/plated steel findings, accented with 2mm gold-plated metal beads. The largest bead here is about 3/4 inch/2 cm long and 1/2 inch/1 cm across at the widest point. The lobsterclaw closure on this one is extra-large, helpful if you're looking for an attachment sized to fit things like thicker outerwear zippers, heavy necklaces, etc..
Pull #4 -- "Strata" (blue/white) (Sold and shipped)
Large irregularly shaped flattened-oval glass beads, in stripey layers of translucent cobalt blue and opaque white, on steel/silvertone findings. All beads are approximately 1/2 inch/1 cm long and 3/8 inch/8 cm wide.

Please remember that these prices are for ONE individual charm of your choosing, and make sure to note the number, name, and/or color of the charm you want somewhere in your bid comment! You're more than welcome to bid on multiple zipper pulls, but to make it easier to keep track of things, please post a separate comment for each one.
Delivery: Will be mailed at auction's end, as soon as you send me shipping info. I'm happy to ship outside of the US, but please consider the greater cost of international shipping when bidding...
Your zipper pull will be sent in a cloth gift pouch; if you'd like this to arrive ready for gift-giving, I'll be happy to put it in a ribbon-tied gift box for a small extra fee -- just let me know the occasion/color scheme you'd like the packaging to suit! Also, if you'd like to use it as a phone charm, I can include a basic
phone strap with goldtone or silvertone findings for a small extra charge.
