Necklace Beading Ideas, Page 15

Citrus Delight

The inspiration for this piece was a large, green, carved jade pendant. I’ve been trying for a while to use this pendant in a simple but elegant setting. Done in shades of gold, orange and bright spring green, this necklace uses chunky millefiori beads surrounded by gold-plated hoops. The smaller round green beads are glass […]

Silver Garden Necklace

This sterling silver necklace is made with wire wrapping techniques, which involves cutting wire pieces and wrapping the ends of the wire around varying cylinders. Beads and findings are all sterling silver. Inspired by flowers! The background is a leaf from a bird of paradise plant.

Rustic Leather Necklace

This necklace is made with goat leather discs in different colors, strung on rami cord.

Coloured Pon Pon Necklace

This necklace was made with 0.80 mm. wire and coloured beads using wire wrapping techniques.

New York Black & White Cookie Necklace

Hand sculpted of polymer clay, silver bail and steel choker wire with magnetic closure. I wanted to make something unique to this area so that people could have a bit of “home” or “a taste of NYC” with them wherever they went.

Moss Agate Circle Gemstone Beaded Necklace

This piece consists of a moss agate circle pendant, accented by a sterling silver flower charm, wire wrapped to a strand of watermelon tourmaline gemstones.

Cluster Charm Necklace

To make this necklace I used 1 metre of faux suede, roughly 20cms of silver plated curb chain, a variety of silver plated/tibetan silver charms, snowflake obsidian chips, coloured glass beads, 10-20 small jump rings, 1 large jump ring and 1 cord end. Tools: 2 pairs of long nose pliers, chain cutter and round nose […]

Heart Of Light Necklace

I created this piece from rainforest jasper (rhyolite) and carnelian, and 24k vermeil bali spacers. I was inspired by nature, the lush green of the rainforest, and the glow of an orange sunrise. I used silver-plated beading wire because I love the glow it creates within the carnelian beads. Gold filled twisted crimps, and a […]

Macrame And Gemstone Necklace

The design for this piece may seem a little off the wall! I was inspired by these odd looking dyed agate beads I had bought at a gem fair. I wanted to make a bold and dramatic pendant like focal design and work it into a hand knotted pattern. So this is what I came […]

Tropical Nights Necklace and Earrings

20″ Necklace featuring Black Kukui Nuts and Black Onyx. Each Kukui nut is the shape of a heart. This unique necklace includes a huge onyx octagon charm and pewter spacer beads. Silver plated lobster claw clasp. Wear this set and prepare to be treated like royalty!

Goddess Pendant Necklace

This 21″ necklace is made using 16ga copper wire, some really nice matte glass beads, and some African trade beads from Ghana. The 4″ bone goddess hangs between two fluted brass beads. I like this necklace for it’s “earthy” feel. The African trade beads were acquired at a flea market where I came upon a […]

Triple Fantasy Necklace

This multi-strand piece is one of my favorites. After adding the black, brown and natural beads together it ended up being a triple. I really think the silver spacers and the inside chain set this piece off to be a great necklace. That is my opinion of course!

Pearl & Tigers Eye Necklace And Earring Set

I purchased this gorgeous pendant from an online auction, but didn’t like the pendant bail that came with it. It was too large. I cut it off and used industrial strength glue to attach a tiger’s eye bead to the pendant and used it as an attachment point for the necklace. I then strung matching […]

Lemon Quartz Dangle Necklace

I have used sterling silver chain and wire to make this necklace, along with fine quality lemon quartz and amythest nuggets. This necklace also feature faceted carneliun, iolite and freshwater pearls.

Pink Dangle Necklace

I found the large silver wire pendant in a craft shop and it took me quite a while to come up with something to put it with. I used bright pink stones along with some pearly beads in pink and cream. I added the bunch to an extra long black cord to create a long […]

Green Man Necklace

I fell in love with this Green Man lampwork bead, from Claire-Louise Patrick of Ciel Creations and wanted to make something that would suggest the abundance of the life cycle he represents. The necklace is in freeform spiral weave using Japanese seed beads with lots of Czech pressed glass leaves with flowers and butterflies and […]

Winter Grass Necklace

I have used my own hand rolled paper beads with glass and Chinese nephrite to create this truly unique and unusual neck adornment! There are two different types of paper beads used: rolled magazine and sponge painted construction paper cylinder beads. Both types are clear coated with glossy polyurethane for added durablity.

Gold Wire Wrapped Necklace

This necklace consists of 0.80mm gold colour wire and 11mm glass pearls.

Primitive Treasure Necklace

I enjoy working with a mixed media–this particular piece is an example of that. A woven waxed cord with 28 of my wire wrapped lampwork beads, each with a malachite bead on each pin. I’ve ended the woven work inside 2 domed lampwork caps. Soldered sterling silver rings hold my handmade centrepiece of textured copper […]

Red Mayan Pendant Necklace

Memory wire was used. Beaded with black and red glass beads. The middle front has silver spacers. A round ring piece is connected with a split ring and beads and charms are connected to that with head and eye pins. I love red and this is one of my favourites in my collection!
