Bead Weaving & Gold Jewelry Ideas

Natacha Swarovski Crystal Bracelet

I created this bracelet using a simple bead weaving technique with the combination of Swarovski crystal beads in garnet, citrine, and peridot colors. I added gold metallic seed beads and white glass pearls for more vivid contrast, solidity, and depth. I used metal findings consisting of a sterling silver hook clasp, jumprings, and an extension […]

Golden Ambition Bracelet

This bracelet was created with an off loom beadweaving technique using golden glass seed beads, embellished with semi-precious carnelian and blue freshwater pearls. As a healing stone, carnelian is believed to be a stone of ambition and drive. It protects the user from negative emotions and inspires positive courageous confidence.

The necklace part is Russian Spiral, while the pendant is beaded crystals and Russian leaves. The fastening is a peyote toggle & loop. I have made this in three colours, but […]

Mykonos Sunrise Bracelet

This is a bold needlewoven bracelet of metallized glass beads with Mykonos discs. Glass triangle and round beads are handsewn in a square stitch in four sections. Between each section is a Mykonos ceramic bead for accent. The beaded loop and clasp makes it look like a continuous band. I love these greek beads! After […]

Evening Delight Fringe Choker

This fringe choker was designed for my daughter’s prom party. She had picked a gorgeous pink silk gown with embroidered gold beads–I used glass seed beads to match.

Goldie Beaded Bookmark

This beaded fish bookmark is one of the fish bookmark that I have made for my “Fish Fry Club” series. I wanted bright cheery colors to make the beaded bookmark pop and so for this beaded fish, I used shining glittering metallic coated Miyuki seed beads. I attached a Czech pressed glass leaf for the […]

The Golden Empress Necklace

This necklace was made with two sizes of gold and silver seed beads. The main part of the necklace is in a Victorian lace style and is made with small seed beads, and the center piece has a large amber cosmic shaped Swarovski crystal surrounded by larger gold and silver seed beads.

Diamond Drop Choker

Three different sizes of glass bicone beads are used, along with gold wire. I also substitute 6mm round or oblong lampwork beads for the center piece on the diamond. This is a fun piece to make and looks great with every outfit, from jeans to formal gowns.

Ram Horn Peyote Stitch Necklace

I was influenced by Hittite figures and forms for this piece. I used the peyote technique with Japanese seed beads size 13 and size 15. The figure at the center of the necklace is handmade from 22 carat gold. I also used herringbone technique for clamps.

Fall Rhapsody Necklace Set

The idea of this set came to me last fall and was inspired on a very sunny day. It was what we call Golden Fall. First, I weaved the necklace base using vertical netting stitch technique. I used tiny seed Czech beads #12 of amber color. Then I made seven leaves for the necklace and […]

Sun Goddess Necklace

I wove a freshwater pearl with golden seed beads to create a rose feature. I used strong fireline to weave the seed beads around the freshwater pearl. I made a circle with the seed beads and then wove the pearl on, then working in rounds I added the petals. Around the rose sit clusters of […]
