I already had quite a few photos of the Capsule of Life Spacer ($56 USD/$74 CAD) so thought I’d gather them up for a short blog post. Designed by Kim Buck, to me this is an amazing piece of art. I see it as being fluid and elegant, with so many ways to use it. Right now my favourite way is with two, snugged up together.
The Spacer cups beads so nicely, in this case, two Rose Quartzes.
Here I’ve used it with Willow Twigs, but any thoughts on the fact that it obscures a bit of the pattern? I’m thinking maybe this would look better with a solid bead in the middle?
Reversing the spacers changes the look, this time with a Unique Amber. I really like the Star Bangle here, as it looks like the lines are flowing onto the bangle from the spacer.
Roberta on Instagram (her photos are in the weekly newsletters from Trollbeads, @just.me.roby) put it next to a prism and wow! Here I’ve put a Lavender Prism between two spacers. Something strange happened with the light in this photo but the beads are the correct colours so I just left it. 🤔
Reversing the spacers once again, I added a Sweet Berries Spacer in the middle. I really like this look!
Finally, here they are on the Pink Pearl Fantasy Necklace with a Pink Prism in between them. So, I think this spacer looks great anywhere it’s placed and it’s been so much fun to play with. Now that it’s been a few days since the release has anyone enjoyed playing around with new purchases? I lost my Night Sky Spacer under the deck while taking a photo, so bought a new one and I might have also ordered two Marble beads. 🤦🏻♀️😅
Oh, just about forgot–this week (Sept. 18-25) there’s a promo at Trollbeads.com (USA and Canada only) for a free foxtail bracelet with purchase of a decorative lock. This is an affiliate link below.
Disclosure: For this blog I may receive some items as promotional samples.
This new spacer is a real piece of art and your photos make it look great with everything! I love it with prisms(thank you so much for mentioning me 😘) but it really looks great with a Sweet Berries Spacer in a bangle so this means I need another Capsule of Life 😬 You are always so dangerous 😜😘

Roberta, I always love your photos and as you know, we both like the same colours! I think I really like it with the Sweet Berries Spacer too and I bet it looks good with the Sunbeam Spacer also. 😘

Hi Martha, I couldn’t help thinking to myself that the Capsule of Life Spacer looks like it was made for the Star Bangle! Then I see that the same designer Kim Buck did both…not to mention Neverending which I still need to get. Out of all your wonderful combinations, I especially love how the prisms look with these spacers.

Hi Suzanne! Yes, anything he designs I pretty much instantly fall in love with. I have the Neverending ring and it’s SO comfortable. Isn’t it lovely how the prisms just tuck right into the spacer? The possibilities are endless!

Hi Martha, I was just thinking to myself that if it was me that lost a spacer (or any bead for that matter) under the deck…and if it was possible….I would be under that deck looking! Especially; as you say on Instagram, that you were glad it wasn’t one of your gold ones….in that case I’m calling a carpenter!

Suzanne, I have dropped so many beads and can usually get them out but this is a weird deck in part of our yard that there is no getting under, unfortunately! But lucky for me, Trollbeads Canada has super fast shipping and the new one I bought has already arrived! And yes, aren’t I lucky it wasn’t a gold spacer! 🤦🏻♀️
