Turquoise Howlite Necklace
This necklace is a nice combination of turquoise and brown colors. I started by twisting 2 strands of natural shell beads together, attaching a silver bail to it. I linked the turquoise howlite teardrop pendant to the bail. For an adjustable size, I attached brown satin ribbon in place of a clasp.
Sea Shell & Pearl Pendant
This pendant was constructed of gold filled wire and fresh water pearls. I started this as an exercise in learning. I was following a tutorial written by Eni on the Beaded Bail. I decided to follow through using an undrilled sea shell that I’ve had for some time. First I had to drill a hole. […]
Wire Wrapped Heart Pendant
There are situations where nothing but a heart will do. They are one of the most understood symbols of affection and very well liked as jewelry pieces. I set out to make a heart out of wire by hand forming the two pieces, then hammering them and finally wire wrapping them together. I then added […]
Leopard Skin Jasper Beaded Cabochon
This cabochon is 30mm x 40mm and has beautiful earthtone colors. I used Japanese Delicas and size 15’s to peyote stitch a beaded bezel with minimum embellishments and a peyote stitched bail. The beaded rope is done in a spiral rope stitch using the same beads. I have chosen the colors of the beads to […]
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 […]
Collage Pendant With White Crystal Agate Druzy
I started out with the fabulous crystal agate druzy. To get together an interesting mix of complimenting gemstones, I chose different shapes, sizes, colors and textures of Prehnite, amethyst, garnet, apatite, citrine and peridot. The ‘backplate’ is a round shaped grid which offers options to fix the gemstones anywhere you like and is also solid […]
Black Jade With Ocean Jasper And Black Onyx Necklace
I loved the unusual colours of this Ocean Jasper and chose matte black Jade beads to create a choker style necklace and a small 5mm facetted Black Onyx to provide symmetry. I created the tube bail by reticulating and fusing the silver, then forming into a tube and oxidising. To finish I added a necklace […]
Dark Coppear and Aquamarine Pendant
This pendant definitely represents the dark side – of copper that is. It has been oxidized to a near black color and then polished with 0000 steel wool and afterward tumbled to have the copper shimmer through and at the same time increase strength and shine. The top gemstone is a natural aquamarine, the gemstones […]
Maharani’s Pendant
“Maharani” means “Queen” in India. I call it a Maharani’s pendant because it reminds me of designs worn by the Rajput clan royalty of the olden days from India. I have used 14k gold filled wire to sculpt an 8.20 carat weight of genuine Citrine stone. I have also added a 6mm genuine round Citrine […]
Antiqued Silver Swirl Pendant
I really enjoyed creating this set. It’s made of 18 gauge sterling silver wire and antique silver beads. For the posts and pendant, I started with the swirls with the beginning of the wire, allowing enough wire at the end to form the posts on the earrings and the bail which is hidden behind the […]
New York Black & White Cookie Necklace
Hand sculpted of polymer clay, silver bail and steel choker wire with magnetic closure. I wanted to make something unique to this area so that people could have a bit of “home” or “a taste of NYC” with them wherever they went.
Pearl & Tigers Eye Necklace And Earring Set
I purchased this gorgeous pendant from an online auction, but didn’t like the pendant bail that came with it. It was too large. I cut it off and used industrial strength glue to attach a tiger’s eye bead to the pendant and used it as an attachment point for the necklace. I then strung matching […]
