Lemon Jade Necklace

This necklace is made with a yellow lemon jade gemstone set in one of my silver beadrings. It is connected to other unique patterned silver links. On the other side is a silver spiral linked to an antique silver flower patterned round link attaching to the focal. The focal is a twisted silver circle with […]

Graphic Feldspar And Smokey Quartz Necklace

I found this beautiful triangular piece of graphic feldspar and thought I would make a great showpiece. I wrapped the parameter of the stone in sterling silver wire to showcase the interesting detail of the stone. To enhance its unique range of brown tones, I paired it with high quality faceted smokey quartz and lustrous […]

Earthy Blossom Tiger-Eye Necklace

This is one of my signature pieces. The pendant in this necklace is handwoven with agate stones and petal beads strung together with three strands of Czech tiger-eye beads on each side.

Terra Cotta & Turquoise Necklace

This necklace has a silver toggle that goes in front. Whenever I see someone wearing a necklace of this style, I always love the way it looks. This one consists of 4 mm terra cotta beads, turquoise stones, teal-colored “E” beads, short bugle beads in white, and silver wire coils I shaped with round-nose pliers. […]

Pearls On A Silver Lily Pad

This pendant combines three of my favorite jewelry making mediums: wire wrapping, beading and Precious Metal Clay (PMC). It all started with a lovely peach colored pearl. I then designed the lily pad of PMC to nestle around the pearl. I wire wrapped the lily pad to transform it into a pendant. It is finished […]

Flower Ribbon Necklace

I created a hot pink organza ribbon flower and attached it to the center of the necklace. I then strung together hot pink, cool pink and black faceted beads to create colorful strands of dangling drops. I added three cool pink pearls at the top of the strands for contrast of color. I used silver […]

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 […]

Green Aventurine Pendant Necklace

I have been creatively thinking about how to dress up a plain donut pendant for weeks now and this weekend I finally came up with something new that I really liked that I have not ever seen done anywhere. I got so excited I made 4 new pendant necklaces – spent my entire Sunday making […]

All Reddy To Go

Beautiful and bold necklace with chunks of red coral beads spaced with faux pearl and silver toned accents. Gorgeous with a turtleneck! 32″ long and finished with a barrel clasp. The inspiration for this piece was the need to make a long coral necklace to go with a simple black shirt.

Milagro Necklace

When I was looking for some vintage charms, I found this beautiful antique milagro. It was love at first sight! However since this is a very large piece, it was quite a challenge to make jewelry with it. After arranging stones and beads so many times, I settled with amazonite and aquamarine. They are great […]

Wise Woman’s Necklace

This piece was created because we are wise women. Our knowledge has been handed down through the wise women of our past and the wise women we deal with today. This multistrand necklace is made of seed beads interspersed with glass leaf-shaped beads. Elegant cones finish off this elegant roit of color.

The Golden Empress Necklace

This necklace was made with two sizes of gold and silver seed beads. The main part of the necklace is in a Victorian lace style and is made with small seed beads, and the center piece has a large amber cosmic shaped Swarovski crystal surrounded by larger gold and silver seed beads.

Orange And Blue Swirls Necklace

I wanted to create a piece with bold blues and oranges, a fun color combination I think. I tried a few different pendant ideas which either didn’t sit right on the neck or didn’t work well with the necklace before settling on the pendants in the picture. I used blue 18 gauge wire to create […]

Coloured Soul Tagua Necklace

This is a simple necklace to construct but fashionably effective. I paired tagua and acai berry with faux brown leather which I hand-knotted to allow the natural “vegetable ivory” tagua to show. The necklace is adjustable. I added cherry red acai berry beads to the ends for a finished look.

Capri Copper Wire Jewelry Set

Copper wire is curled into s-links, figures of eight and jump rings to make the chain, with the art-deco style pendant pieces. Fire-gold swarovski crystals set off by deep red ones. The result is Italianate, and surprisingly delicate.

Simone Vintage Pink Leather Rose With Coffee Beads

A large leather rose in a dusky pink is the focal point for this necklace. I have attached it to sit asymmetrically and hand wired a trail of smooth coffee coloured beads which swoop around the bottom of the necklace. The piece is secured by a black satin ribbon which ties around the neck.

Tassle To Go Necklace

I created this necklace by stringing Rainbow Flourite donuts, Violet Swarovski crystals, a silver plated hammered circle center piece, and purple matte seed beads. This necklace has a lobster clasp and chain so length can be adjusted.

Wired Copper Pendant

I discovered this large chunk of solid copper on vacation. I love the richness of color in copper. I think it looks great surrounded by silver as the two compliment each other. Of course this nugget had to be wrapped in wire as there is no hole…I don’t drill…but it was just enough to accent […]

Mother Of Pearl Beaded Necklace

This three strand necklace is made from an old one that I bought when I traveled. I “recycled” the mother of pearl chips by combining them with some seed beads and this little necklace was born! I placed a unique hand made clay bead on the longest strand to give it some weight. The necklace […]

Maharani’s Pendant

“Maharani” means “Queen” in India. I call it a Maharani’s pendant because it reminds me of designs worn by the Rajput clan royalty of the olden days from India. I have used 14k gold filled wire to sculpt an 8.20 carat weight of genuine Citrine stone. I have also added a 6mm genuine round Citrine […]
