Bead Stringing & Lampwork Beads Jewelry Ideas

Marlee Turquoise Necklace

This necklace was built around these beautiful lampwork beads, to which I added turquoise, picture jasper, and silver-plated spacer beads. I strung the beads on accuflex wire and finished the necklace with a silver “S” hook. I added an extender chain, so that it can be worn short or longer depending on what neckline you […]

Chocolate And Turquoise Lampwork Bead Necklace

I came across these lampwork beads for sale and just had to buy them.

Purple Crazy Lace Agate Pendant Necklace

This is definitely a crazy necklace. I loved the octagon shape of this pendant, its beautiful combination of purples, greys and beiges and its large size – a little over 2″ across! The necklace is made up of a lot of different beads, two large silver foil lampwork beads balance out the huge pendant along […]

Lillyana Bracelet

I have been making lampwork beads for a while and decided that this flower focal would look good with pearls. I used sterling silver findings and a hill tribe silver heart, just to add a bit more romance to it. It suited a double strand bracelet, due to the size of the bead.

Jaffa Necklace

This necklace was inspired by the artisan crafted lampwork beads. The leopard fire agate, fossil coral focal, autumn jasper and bronzite all compliment the colors in the lampwork beads.

Cobalt Lampwork Bead Bracelet

I made this bracelet with handmade lampwork beads. Lampwork beads are made by melting narrow rods of glass by hand over an open flame (usually a torch). The glass is wrapped around a thin metal rod (a mandrel), which later becomes the hole through the bead. Many effects can be achieved through using various colors […]

Cool Blues Necklace

I started with cool blue lampwork glass beads with foil detail stripes and added blue lampwork glass cubes to accompany them.

Finally I soaked the beads in an acid etching solution […]

As I work with an open flame I felt it was appropriate to create a necklace celebrating my passion. In this necklace my handmade lampwork beads, gemstones, and Japanese seed beads are finger woven together with my forged sterling silver pieces suggesting the lick of the flame.
