Bead Stringing & Bronze Jewelry Ideas

Jacqueline Necklace

This necklace features 4 strands, each unique, but layer together beautifully. I used one of my favorite color combinations…bronze and turquoise. I made two of the strands more of a random look with seed beads, freshwater pearls, crystals, and turquoise. One strand has a regular pattern of turquoise and copper beads. The final strand holds […]

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 […]

Brass Circles Necklace

This has been a work in progress for a while – the links and pendant were a natural pairing – the strung portion took a while of thinking to find the right solution. The circles are brushed aged brass, and the transparent pendant bead and matching nugget beads are raku glass. The strung portion is […]

Turquoise and Aqua Necklace

This 2 strand bead necklace weaves in and out of itself. It is strung with turquoise and aqua seed beads with metallic bronze and pressed glass beads.

Pearl, Shell, Crystal & Cats Eye Necklace

This exquisite piece is the essence of summer. Warm, glittery and soft. It consists of four strands of bronze Swarovski pearls, golden shadow Swarovski crystals, cattlehead beige shell and taupe cat’s eye with a touch of brown bugle beads. Necklace is 18″ with 1″ sterling silver chain extender. Sterling silver hook clasp.

Handmade Brown Swirl Beads And Pearls Necklace

I just love the handmade clay beads in this necklace. They are a combination of brown, tan, and white. I combined them with freshwater pearls and antique silver spacers that have a slightly bronze cast to them which makes them coordinate very well. The necklace measures 15 and one half inches long with a lobster […]

Just Beachy Sea Glass Bracelet

After finding these perfectly round, vintage sea glass beads while shopping for supplies, I knew I had to incorporate them into a fun jewelry design for the summer. Because of their size (12mm), I immediately thought of a bracelet. To enhance the colors of the beads, I created a simple color pattern, detailed with just […]

Brazen Necklace

I created this necklace by stringing African Blue stones, Blueberry glass, Bronzite, Czech Fire-polished bronze glass beads, and seed beads. This necklace is finished off with an antique silver lobster claw clasp.

Kenya Bracelet

I used eight 19mm round acrylic bronze and white beads, and strung them on white leather, knotting the leather in between the beads. I used a bronze TierraCast toggle clasp. I hardly ever name my pieces, but when this bracelet was completed the name came to mind immediately. Length: Approximately 7-1/4″.

Kon Tiki Double-Stranded Bracelet

I love texture in the pieces I make – I wanted to use these wonderfully shaped freshwater pearls and I felt the shells complemented the color and texture of the pearls perfectly. I used a large leaf-shaped bronze colored toggle clasp, which fits the design of the piece. A summery, beachy, boho bracelet – overall, I […]

Marvelous Malachite Choker

15″ diameter (choker length) genuine Malachite Gemstone necklace set with 14k Gold and Vermeil Gold spacers and findings. Malachite can imitate Emerald in hue. These quality Malachite gemstones are a deep emerald green with gentle marbling. The focal centerpiece ia a 1″ length antiqued bronze ornate medallion. Other components of this necklace include antiqued bronze […]

Burnt Orange Bronze Necklace

I wanted to make something that makes a statement, so I used a large textured bronze pendant and attached three strands of small beads on one side, and one strand of larger beads on the other side. I added a few charms to the pendant and finished it with a bronze chain and toggle clasp […]
