Wirework & Swarovski Crystal Necklace Beading Ideas

Sterling Silver Wire Heart Pendant With Garnets

I made this piece using sterling silver wire, faceted garnets, Swarovski crystal bicones, and round sterling silver beads. The pendant itself is two separate components woven together in order to create the single piece seen in the design. I wanted to use a lot of bold red and love these little pieces of garnet. Also […]

Steampunk Lace Necklace

I like combining steampunk elements, such as gears and chain, with my own flair to create something unique. This necklace measures 18 inches and combines gold plated chain, copper rounds, silver plated rounds, copper Swarovski crystals, and metal gears in shades of antiqued gold, pewter, and copper. The gears are connected with jump rings in […]

Antique Turquoise Collar

I made this antique turquoise piece using 2 sizes of round turquoise beads. You may use from 8mm for the smaller ones and 20mm for the big ones to have this effect. I use wire wrapping technique for each dangle with bronze eye pins to get that antique effect that would match the spider veins […]

Cloud Of Fortune Crystal Pendant Necklace

“Cloud of Fortune” or xiang yun, refers to beautiful, auspicious clouds, used especially in describing the skies accompanying appearances of Buddha. I used 18 gauge sterling silver wire hammered flat to form a frame in the shape of a cloud. Swarovski crystals (3mm) in sapphire and light blue are threaded with sterling silver wires inside […]

Pearl And Vintage Pendant Necklace

This necklace has a variety of Swarovski gold & cream pearls, siam and topaz crystals and a vintage pendant. I attached the wire to the pendant, then added a pearl and started twisting the wire. I did that for each pearl. When I got to the length I wanted, I started wrapping the wire around […]

Purple Swirl Wire Necklace

This piece started out as three hand-made lamp work beads. I had no idea what to do with them for over a month. One day I decided I was going to make something with them if it killed me. I had wanted to try a woven bail treatment and I thought this would be the […]

Retro Glamour Necklace

I have strung an old black floral button with a diamantee attached on to an antique silver style cable chain. Faceted black beads, Swarovski crystals, pink licorice beads and another old button are mixed together to create this necklace. I tried to create a retro feel with this necklace by using beads that reminded me […]

Rose Swarovski Necklace

I am a huge fan of pearls, and I love to use them in many pieces. In this piece I combined a creme coin shaped pearl with 4mm rose Swarovski crystals and attached them to an 18 inch silver plated chain. I think they are a great combination!

Purple Cascade Necklace

Perfect to wear on a night out or to dress up a cute tank and pair of blue jeans. This necklace is made of purple coin pearls, Swarovski crystals, and sterling silver wire and chain.

City Necklace – Copper and Blue Swarovski

Pure copper findings and swarovski crystals in shades of blue. I made this with the London underground in mind, the copper tubing was for the tunnels, the rings for the tracks and the crystals to symbolise the lighting. It has two chains at the back with crystals that dangle down over the shoulders.

Koala Scribbly Pendant

Starting from a design for ‘wiggly’ chain by Linda Jones, this was inspired by the Scribble Bark gum tree which looks as if Koalas have been slip-sliding down the tree. Gold plate wire, with a green venetian-style glass bead and two little clear Swarovski crystals. The ends of the fine leather thong are bound in […]

Adira Copper And Swarovski Wirework Necklace

I named this necklace “Adira”. It’s Hebrew and means: majestic, mighty and strong. I hand forged copper wire to create the intricate framework. I took more copper wire to create the ornate wirework. The focal point of the necklace is the wirewrapped 15x14mm jet black Swarovski crystal. The necklace also has smaller jet black, siam […]

Treasure Box Necklace Set

The inspiration for this set was the antique gold finish filigree pieces that seem to have a charm all their own. I connected the filigree pieces with jump rings, strung deep red, small glass disks, garnet and lime Swarovski crystals onto olive colored beading wire, and repeated the process to add more filigree pieces and […]

Capri Copper Wire Jewelry Set

Copper wire is curled into s-links, figures of eight and jump rings to make the chain, with the art-deco style pendant pieces. Fire-gold swarovski crystals set off by deep red ones. The result is Italianate, and surprisingly delicate.

Carmenita Necklace and Earrings

Exotic necklace made of Amethyst stones, red-brown Agate chip stones, Swraovksi pearls. The center drop contains Amethyst and red-brown agate stone (attached with a black Swarovski crystal. I specially designed this for my friend from Vietnam for her birthday. I really like the colour combination. It’s easy to make but takes a lot of patience, […]

Victorian Queen Wedding Set

This is a necklace and hair piece I designed for my sons wedding. It has become the piece that has made me “stand out” in the crowd. It was created using Swarovski crystal, pearls, and natural stones such as chrysanthemum and red agate. The day of the wedding I went to a high end salon […]

Flowering Green Pagoda Pendant

In my exploration with the application of the needle lace technique to wire work, I created this lovely pendant. It reminded me of the Japanese Pagodas, hence the name. Created with 20 gauge wire as the base element and 26 gauge sterling wire for the netting. Swarovski crystals were used on the ends of the […]

Bluesy Lampwork Pendant

These lampwork beads were the first in my series of two-two beads featuring an opaque half and a transparent half of the same color. I have made these glass beads from moretti/effetre glass with a trail of fine silver melted through the middle. Swarovski crystals and sterling silver accents finish off the pendant.

Green Pearl And Hoop Necklace

I started with a piece of silver plated double hoop chain and put small jump rings on both ends. On head pins are two green bicone pearls with a clear Swarovski crystal in between. Near the clasp again on head pins are two different size green pearls with the smaller of the two in the […]

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 […]
