Sterling Silver & Bone Bead Pendant

This wire wrapped piece was created using sterling silver wire, natural carved bone beads, and a red glass bead. I had no set design in mind when I began this one. The only thing I had to go by was the general “leaf-like” shape. I added some swirls and then decided on some neutral colored […]

Copper, Wood & Bali Bead Ornate Pendant

The focal drop is a hand crafted lampwork bead that is clear with a copper swirl lining. The necklace includes dark wood round beads, Czech faceted smokey brown beads and some silver coloured metal Bali-like beads, bead caps and hanger to finish. The seed beads are clear dark brown and the bugle beads are metallic […]

Courage Under Fire Necklace

I used a combination of red coral chips and chunks with cube shaped, black onyx beads, spaced throughout with silver toned spacer beads. This necklace was strung on tiger tail wire. I liked the almost punky look of this piece and the combo of red and black. Finished with a sterling silver toggle clasp. 20″ […]

Spring Maiden

Diane Breglieb’s ‘The Face’ accompanied by vintage glass cabs, swarovskis, pearls, and of course, seed beads.

Knotted Pendant Necklace

The materials I used were small black beads and medium sized gold coated beads. I made it because a client needed a black and golden colored necklace for a party. I strung the necklace and made a knot for the pendant and butterfly like earrings. I just love the colour combination.

Carmenita Necklace and Earrings

Exotic necklace made of Amethyst stones, red-brown Agate chip stones, Swraovksi pearls. The center drop contains Amethyst and red-brown agate stone (attached with a black Swarovski crystal. I specially designed this for my friend from Vietnam for her birthday. I really like the colour combination. It’s easy to make but takes a lot of patience, […]

Blue Rain Necklace

I’ve created this necklace using African cream disk trade beads, cream coral beads, and West African lost wax brass beads (basket shape). To add color to this piece I’ve added blue turquoise beads and antique gold Bali style spacers. Completing the necklace is a 22mm oxidized copper ring as the toggle clasp. This necklace measures […]

Porcelain With Blues Neckace

I love the delicacy of patterns found in porcelain beads. This piece is longer–strung on 6 strands of 20 inches of tiger tail, 3 strands on each side. I wove seed beads in shades of blue, green and gold are together with electric blue glass beads and porcelain beads, (rounds as well as cylindrical beads). […]

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. […]

African Halter Necklace

This necklace is made from wooden beads and tigertail wire.

Autumn Shells Necklace

This necklace is made of shells, freshwater pearls, brass spacers, and carnelian beads. I finished it with a mermaid toggle clasp.

Orange Clay Bead Choker

Very simple choker but I really like it. These are orange clay beads, I think 10mm spaced with 4mm black beads. It’s attached in the back with a simple toggle clasp and a piece of silver plated chain. The crimp beads at the ends are covered with silver bead caps. This necklace looks great.

Red Fringe Crocheted Bead Choker

This choker is crocheted with beads. I used a needle to add the fringe after I completed the bead crochet.

Jessica’s Big Blue Glass Drop Necklace

Inspired by a friend who wanted something bright for an outfit, this dichroic glass necklace was designed with a simple bright blue oversized glass drop hanging on small silver lined crystal seed beads (so they wouldn’t compete with the drop and would add some “bling” at the same time). While simply composed, this piece is […]

Autumn Surprise Necklace

I placed a tumbled light blue onyx stone amidst a mix of beads in the shades of autumn. I feel the deep color of the orange compliments the browns and yellows well. I love that this piece seems to fall a new way each time it’s worn. A necklace like this has been running through […]

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 […]

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.

Ocean Treasures Necklace

Most of my inspiration comes from nature and the environment that I live in. I live on the north coast of British Columbia Canada in a small port/fishing town. When I came across the wire mesh in the teal color I instantly thought of fishing nets capturing the sealife in its path. This is my […]

Sterling Silver Mabe Pearl Necklace

Sterling is composed of rich textured silver freshwater pearls laced with silver beads and accented with a large silver plated mabe pearl pendant.

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.
