Love Twists & Locks

This is a two in one piece necklace, with a diachromatic coloring pink and wine at the base. I used the wine color against the white to signify love and passion and the up and down nature of love. On the other side I used pink to signify the purity and gentleness that comes with […]

Fluorite Czech Glass Bracelet

I made this bracelet with faceted Czech glass donuts, sterling silver saucers, and sterling silver round beads. This bracelet has a sterling silver chain extender and sterling silver lobster clasp. Bracelet is strung using .019 Soft-flex beading wire. Bracelet is 7 1/2″ in length and extender is 1 1/4″ in length. I love the two […]

Ivory Pod Earrings

My lampwork beads in this earring pair measures 15x10mm. They are made with a base of black and dotted with ivory and grey suckers. Each sucker is made by placing dots of molten glass around the bead and then poking each one in the middle with a sharp tool while hot. After they were annealed […]

Sweet Nectar Earrings

These earrings are very simple in both style and construction. First I hand wire wrapped gold vermiel wire around medium sized light salmon faceted Chinese crystal briolette beads. Then I attached them to pendants that depicts a hummingbird receiving it’s daily nourishment; nectar from a beautiful flower. I knew that the frames needed to stand […]

Matte Gold Necklace

This necklace is a nice combination of gold and brown. I started with a big link gold chain, then I attached a unique big toggle clasp in the same color. To finish I used small link chain to dangle three brown Murano style lampwork glass beads from the clasp.

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 […]

Neverland Bracelet

The unique focal bead was the inspiration for this bracelet. I made a double eye-pin out of 18 gauge wire and attached it to two separate lengths of gold chain. I wanted to make the charms out of interesting beads I had in my collection, and I also wanted those beads to bring out the […]

Lillyana Bracelet

I have been making lampwork beads for a while and decided that this flower focal would look good with pearls. I used sterling silver findings and a hill tribe silver heart, just to add a bit more romance to it. It suited a double strand bracelet, due to the size of the bead.

Maile Leaf With Fresh Water Pearls And Green Glass Leaves

The pendant was the inspiration for this piece. It’s a Hawaiian Maile leaf (from my home state), dipped in gold. My husband wore a fragrant Maile leaf lei in our wedding, so Maile leaves have sentimental value for me. The rest of the necklace is comprised of green glass leaves, and other green glass beads […]

Sculptured Lantern Earrings With Rock Quartz

These earrings are little replicas of lanterns that you can stick into the ground to illuminate your swimming pool or just a garden path. I hand formed thick copper wire, hammered, filed and polished it and then attached a sharply faceted oval rock quartz framed by little copper beads. Just a little bit different.

Seahorse Beaded Necklace

This necklace was inspired by my love of the ocean. Abalone shell pendant with small brass seahorse charm adorns the front. I also used various colored fresh water pearls, and Czech glass beads and then metallic blue/purple seed beads up and around the back of the necklace where it ends at a brass swirl clasp.

Flower Labradorite Leaves Bracelet

My inspiration for this bracelet is the beautiful leaf-cut labradorite. This piece is so classy and can be worn to dress up jeans or to a formal event! The leaf-cut labradorite stones have a lot of beautiful blue flash with black faceted Swarovski crystal spacers and faux grey pearls. Strung on beading wire, measures about […]

Rose Swarovski Necklace

I am a huge fan of pearls, and I love to use them in many pieces. In this piece I combined a creme coin shaped pearl with 4mm rose Swarovski crystals and attached them to an 18 inch silver plated chain. I think they are a great combination!

Goldie’s Garden Bracelet

I often get requests for birthday bracelets. I use the stones that correspond to the birth month and the individuals astrological sign. This piece was inspired by my girlfriends mother “Goldie” who is a lovely, lively, bubbly and happy go lucky lady! I used 24 gauge silver wire to string smokey quartz beads and a […]

I Have Got The Blues Bracelet

Blue and green stones helped me create the name of this piece. I strung each bead section onto brass wire and did a simple loop to close each end. Each beaded wire section was attached to brass jump-rings. The focal is the brass filigree ring that I attached to the bracelet by wrapping both sides […]

Teal Crocheted Necklace

This necklace is knit of cotton with a 2.5 inch pendant. Length is 23 inches. I love to crochet with soft yarns and create lovely shapes to adorn the neck or wrist. This one is crocheted from a #3 Cotton and has a large interesting pendant . I also like to use ties so the […]

Purple Clusters Bracelets

I made this piece by first getting a chain, and then adding 2 beads to every link. The beads are attached to a headpin and then attached to the chain with a jumpring. I have used a mixture of glass and acrylic beads of different purples. It is finished with a lobster claw clasp. I […]

Flamingo Pink Beaded Bracelet Set

I wanted to design something fun and flirty for summer. These are a simple strung design bracelet set. They have been made with white quartz chip beads and larger pink oval glass beads, interspersed with silver spacers and fastened with silver toggle clasps. Each bracelet is different, yet made with the same materials, thus giving […]

Boot Bling

These anklet pieces are worn around your ankle over your boot. The dangles are made with headpins covered with liquid silver with a 4mm Swarovski Crystal at the end.

Blue Quartz And Blue Opal Multistrand Necklace

For this 3-strand necklace I started with the faceted oval 10x14mm blue opal stones and added cube-shaped blue opals with light turquoise and darker foiled turquoise colored seed beads. The three strands are 18 1/2″, 20 1/2″ and 21″ in length (including the clasp). The clasp is a metal 3-strand hook with little flowers for […]
