Copper Necklace Beading Ideas

Love Pendant – Wire Wrapped Turquoise Pendant
This pendant was made from fine silver wire, copper wire and adorned with natural turquoise stones, sterling silver beads and copper beads, oxidized for an antique look, polished and treated with a sealer to stabilize the oxidation and preserve the color of the metals. They were wire wrapped, hammered and polished at every step. Pendant […]

Abacus Pendant
I had the idea to make this pendant as the old counting frame design offers lots of possibilities to personalize a piece of jewelry. The gemstones can be chosen to make the most out of the color combination or emphasize a single color but also to display birthstones of a family or group. It’s a […]

Desert Jasper Wheel Of Infinity Pendant
For this pendant I hand-form the frame with thick copper wire. I then wire wrap the frame with very thin copper wire while attaching tiny, 2mm copper beads at certain intervals. I wanted to use the very popular gemstone donuts but create a more elaborate look. I call these type of pendants “wheel of infinity” […]

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 […]

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 […]

Spring To Fall Vintage Recycled Necklace
This necklace was made with all recycled vintage materials. I began making jewelry out of my Mom’s pieces after she passed, as gifts for family. Now I collect vintage pieces for my designs. This necklace consists of vintage glass beads with copper and brass components and chain. I love creating jewelry that’s is good for […]

Stole Pattern Beaded Necklace
This is a beautiful necklace and very simple to design. To make this necklace I took various kinds of beads mixes like glass beads, shells, uncuts, semi-precious, handmade marble glass beads, 4mm glass beads, 11/0 seed beads, bugle beads and some glass flowers. I made two strings of uncut chips, each separated by two black […]

Tigers Eye And Picture Jasper Choker
This piece is a 18 inch choker with two strands closely intertwined. The first strand has tiger’s eye stones and picture jasper beads with the second strand of gold colored seed beads wrapped around the picture jasper beads. Brown glass and copper-tinted spacers are mixed in with the other beads to complete the piece. All […]

Pink Copper Goddess
A beautiful goddess in pinks and copper. I embroidered her with copper iris colored glass beads, with bits and pieces from other jewelry parts for her crown which has a fabric pink flower rosette and mother of pearl. Inside is black felt and back is black leather. The same coordinating beads around the edges. Pink […]

Copper Explosion Necklace
This piece is made by stringing the larger green and brown beads on stringing wire and then threading string wire through those beads and stringing the copper colored beads on the end. Everything is held in place with crimp beads. There are three strands of wire for the necklace. The strands are braided together to […]

Aventurine Chips And Rounds Triple Strand Necklace
This necklace is mainly made from aventurine chips and dark and light 8mm round aventurine beads strung on wire and connected with simple wire loops. I completed the necklace with fine triple copper link chain and a brass lobster claw. The triple strands overlaps naturally when worn.

Vintage Treasures Necklace
This necklace is one of a kind. It reminds me of something you would find in a treasure box. The large beads are all vintage. The necklace also contains glass pearls in almond and black, copper Czech glass beads, snowflake obsidian, hematite, and textured circles. I put each individual bead on wire and linked them […]

Orange Elegance Necklace
This jasper pendant was so beautiful that I wanted to use it in a necklace that would frame it well. The bright orange and dark orange metal beads woven in with the smaller copper ones created exactly the effect I was looking for–bright, vibrant, and pretty. It measures 18 inches and combines glass orange rounds, […]

Saturn Pendant
I wanted to use this lovely glowing Chalcedony bead as a pendant, but it really needed some added interest and color. I hand formed the ring/frame out of thick 18g wire in roughly a similar yet different shape to the gemstone. I then hammered it and used 28g soft copper wire to wrap it with […]

Enameled Modern Leis
This piece is a handmade enameled necklace I created to represent the flowers I see everyday in my life. I love walking to work and seeing all the blossoms so I thought why not put them onto a necklace to see. I cut each and every flower out of copper, fused glass of varying colors, […]

Aaliyah Matti Necklace Set
The name and inspiration for this necklace set was derived from my late grandmother and favorite singer, the late Aaliyah. The beauty of this set just reminded me of their beauty. I worked with beautifully glowing faceted Peruvian blue chalcedony briolette beads and iridescent peach puff coin freshwater pearls. I strung the beads onto gold […]

All Year Round – Tree Pendant
I decided to make this pendant as a display of a whole year in the life of a deciduous tree. It is a wire wrapped solid copper pendant, showcasing a bare, winter tree with the attached Czech glass leaves displaying the seasons change. Starting with bright, lush green leaves in spring, a sparkling pale pink […]

Sunset Crocheted Wire Necklace
This necklace was crocheted with 26 gauge colored copper wire and dyed glass chips. I love color and that is always my inspiration.

Copper And Glass Pearl Necklace Set
This piece combines the earthiness of copper with the elegance of pearls. I created four cooper beads using 20 gauge copper wire (7″ pc.) hand wrapped into two sizes of swirls going in opposite directions with a loop in the middle for beading. One 8mm, several 4mm and 6mm white glass pearls as well as […]

Brown And Cream Freshwater Pearl Necklace
My love for chocolate inspired this piece. I made it with brown, copper, and creamy pink colored freshwater pearls that I wrapped with 14kt gold filled wire. I decided the Y-drop was the perfect accent for it. I then finished it off with a 14kt gold filled lobster clasp and some medium sized 14kt gold […]
