Starry Night Beaded Necklace

I consider simple necklaces very beautiful. When I made this one I used a combination of dark blue semi-precious sodalite and golden Czech crystal glass beads. The colors remind me of a night sky with golden stars. I made the pendant by wrapping sterling silver wire and a few beads around the main sodalite bead. […]

Blue Mother Of Pearls With Opals Necklace

My favorite summer vacation destination is Hawaii. I just love the color of Hawaiian ocean and that is what I tried to capture with this necklace. For calm ocean, I used different sizes of mother of pearl flat shape beads with round shape one. I used opal round beads, roundelles and bicones as well as […]

Midnight Bloom Necklace

I love vintage style jewelry and wanted a necklace that would be perfect with a little black dress for an evening out. This beaded necklace was made using Swarovski Elements crystals, Miyuki seed beads and silver metal beads. The lacy filigree look of the beaded pendant gives the necklace a 3D effect.

Vintage Locket Necklace

This necklace uses a vintage brass floral locket as a pendant. The locket is wire wrapped to a mix of white freshwater pearls and faceted clear quartz. The stones are then connected to a medium weight gold filled cable chain. The necklace has an adjustable length of 19 to 21 inches, with a keishi pearl […]

Blue Crescent Necklace

Very simple and fun piece! I’ve used a tigertail wire base, with no clasps. Inexpensive materials include: blue ceramic disc beads in small and large, tiger eye beads, a dichroic glass pendant, and a few metallic seed beads! Make sure to make the initial strand very long! Good luck!

Amazonite Necklace With Smoky Quartz And Pearls

This piece is made with antique brass, amazonite, smoky quartz and pearls. Blue and brown make a nice color combo, and amazonite and smoky quartz are two of my favorite gemstones, so I figured the two stones would look great in a necklace with a little bit of white thrown in somewhere. I took a […]

Aventurine Cleopatra Necklace

These aventurine beads range in hues of honey, amber, citrine and caramel. Their triangle shapes are varied and lend an interesting feature to a “Cleopatra” look. I finished off the necklace with small aventurine nuggets in the same tonal colors. Tiny honey colored seed beads separate the aventurine beads. I’ve used a vermeil (gold plated […]

Triple Strand Boho Necklace

The large glass cubes are black with one side being a metallic shade of green, gold or blue. These beads can be turned to create a new color pattern every time you wear this necklace, or you can simply wear it as all black. Overall the necklace is 20 inches, or about 27.5 cm on the […]

Funky Wire Wrapped Carnelian Necklace

This wire wrap necklace is made from mix of fine and sterling silver wire and different shapes of carnelian beads. In this necklace I wanted to create something suitable both for casual dressing and for evening gown. It’s one of my first creations in silver wire and absolutely one of my favorites!

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.

Jet and Topaz Necklace

This necklace is of glass beads – Jet daggers and Topaz ovals. The necklace and matching bracelet is available for purchase here.

Neo-victorian Serpentine And Frosted Glass Necklace

For this necklace I started with a serpentine (new jade) cabochon and put it under a large antique brass hoop. I used a piece of oxidized brass filigree as backing to hold it in place. For accent beads I used a few smaller matching serpentine jade beads and some flat oval beads made of frosted […]

Felicity Necklace

Felicity is made of four strands of magnetic hematite beads, hematite chips, snowflake obsidian chips, moonstone chips, wire wrapped clear quartz beads, and two types of metal beads. All of these are strung and wrapped together to create Felicity. I wanted a piece that was chic, and embodied the icy, winter atmosphere.

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 […]

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 […]

Rattlesnake Choker

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. When I finished it, my little son looked at it and said it looked like a rattlesnake…I thought he described it quite well. […]

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 […]

Brioche Agate And Jasper Necklace

Blues, browns and creams blend together in the brioche agate gemstone pendant on this necklace. I love the blues in this pendant and have not seen a brioche agate gemstone with so much blue before. The necklace is strung with 6 mm round dark brown agate, 3 mm round dark brown picture jasper, 4 mm […]

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.

Dream Catcher Necklace

This necklace was inspired by the Indian dream catchers. It has seven rings from a chain that I attached beads to with wire. I put a small yellow glass bead on the second and second to last ring, and a teal bead on the center ring. I also dangled three teal beads from the center […]
