Different Heart

This necklace is a combination of metal findings, chain, Miyuki bugles and a heart pendant. I got the idea by playing with bugles. At the same time I received an order of the beautiful metal pieces. I knew right then that these materials should be put together in one lovely necklace.

The beaded rope is done in a spiral rope stitch using the same beads. I have chosen the colors of the beads to […]

Hematite Cabochon Necklace

A dear friend gave me some hematite cabochons. Since I love to combine materials, I started looking for different once.

I’ve been working a lot with a weave pattern involving three strands of beads…I wanted the challenge of creating a five strand necklace and I thought it worked well as a choker.

Aquamarine Morning And Amethyst Night

One early spring day I was so inspired by the sky that I decided to recreate this picture.
