The three strands are 18 1/2″, 20 1/2″ and 21″ in length (including the clasp). The clasp is a metal 3-strand hook with little flowers for […]
Blue Mother Of Pearls With Opals Necklace
My favorite summer vacation destination is Hawaii. I just love the color of Hawaiian ocean and that is what I tried to capture with this necklace. For calm ocean, I used different sizes of mother of pearl flat shape beads with round shape one. I used opal round beads, roundelles and bicones as well as […]
Violet Embroidered Fantasy Necklace
Bead embroidered cuff and necklace made from rough opals (polished by myself), charoite, amethyst, pearls, swarovski, silver beads, rainbow moonstone beads, purple jade, violet glass beads (roses) and Miyuki Delicas. For the base I used Lacy’s Stiff Stuff and a blank brass collar and cuff. To make this whole set, including polishing the opals, takes […]
Seaside Rendezvous Necklace
I bought the very nice fossilized coral squares first and tried to make them fit with other bead combinations that just weren’t working. I went to a bead show and saw the African opal rondelles and amazonite beads that looked great together and thought of my pretty squares back home. I was delighted that they […]
Brioche Agate And Jasper Necklace

Amazonite Chunks Goddess Necklace
I made this three-strand necklace with four different shapes of Amazonite Beads. We have Rondelles, tubes, chips and nuggets. And I put some Sea Opal glass chips in because I think these two stones together are beautiful. All findings and spacers are sterling silver as well as the three stranded clasp which is adjustable. And […]
Angel Story Charm Bracelet
I particularly love the angel charm in the middle as she seems to be in thought or having a quiet moment. I wanted to make something that was a little fairytale-like and sweet, so I put the basket and umbrella as part of the design, making them seem like they belong to the angel. The […]

Made with four 16mm flat rounds, four 12mm flat rounds, four 9×14 flat ovals, and twenty 8mm faceted rondelle larimar blue lace agate stone beads.

Imagination Facination Bracelet
This bracelet is an African opal bracelet with Czech crystal bi-cone flirts. How to make it: Cut two pieces of leather cord about 1 1/2″ shorter than you want it to be to allow for the focal bead and the clasp. I used a heavier 20 gauge half hard sterling silver wire, and did a […]
Glowing Opal Bracelet
This multi-strand bracelet is made of glowing opal beads of different shapes. Each strand is on a stretchy cord. I decided to unite the strands by triangle hoop and finish the bracelet with a charm made of large polygonal opal bead and couple of crystal clear AB Swarovski bicones.
