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.

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.

Turquoise Twist Choker

This is my favorite piece. It’s a 3-strand choker, one strand large turquoise nuggets, and two strands of small nuggets. I used silver separators and a silver hook clasp at the end. This was a custom design for a friend. She wanted something different for a function and couldn’t find what she wanted in stores.

Blue Love Necklace

This chic necklace is made up of 2 strands (on both sides) of multi-colored blue quartz semiprecious chips that meet together at a hand wired four petals flower with raining quartz and pastel colored glass pearls. The 16.5″ necklace closes nicely with a silver rose toggle and clasp (not pictured).

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.

Antiqued Silver Swirl Pendant

I really enjoyed creating this set. It’s made of 18 gauge sterling silver wire and antique silver beads. For the posts and pendant, I started with the swirls with the beginning of the wire, allowing enough wire at the end to form the posts on the earrings and the bail which is hidden behind the […]

Golden Rays Necklace Set

This necklace is suggestive of the warm, golden, sparkling rays of the sun. This piece is made with 6mm gold Swarovski pearls, 6mm round golden shadow Swarovski crystals and 4mm bicone golden shadow Swarovksi crystals. The dangles are made with sterling silver tubes and 4mm bicone golden shadow Swarovski crystals.

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.

Red Earth Pendant Necklace

Created using sterling silver wire work, exquisite burnt orange agate, fire agate and vintage sterling silver. The agate pendant is wrapped in sterling silver 20 gauge wire. The sterling silver beads are vintage from the 1960’s. The wire wrapped pendant measures 3 inches. Overall length is 20 inches.

Leafy Green Necklace Featuring Aventurine

This necklace is a 17 inch choker made with aventurine beads, faux green pearls, and 13 mother of pearl tear drop shaped pendants in green and white. I wanted to create a leafy look with the pendants (which hang about 1 inch long with the faux pearls at the end of them). The piece fastens […]

Handmade Chain With Pearls

This necklace I made from wire cutted in to small pieces and made into “links” to from a chain. Light blue swarovski pearls was added to finish it of. This is very time consuming but the result was worth every second.

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 […]

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.

Wedding Jewelry

This necklace is made of different materials such as crystal beads, perle, fabric flowers, dry flowers. It is worked with 20 gauge wire.

Two Tone Delight Necklace

Berticulated jasper pendant strung on two pieces of accuflex. Used firepolish crystals, jasper, and seedbeads. The pendant inspired me to make the necklace with alternate colors on each side.

Genuine Leaf Pendant And Earring Set

I love leaves! Fell in love with this pendant instantly and had to have it. It is a genuine leaf that has been set on coconut shell and coated in epoxy. I have added freshwater pearls and antique gold metal accents. I think even though the leaf is green that it is still a wonderful […]

Aqua Circles Necklace

I used silver tigertail and crimp beads to connect the circles to each other. The exposed tigertail is covered in long bugle beads, faux pearls & silver spacers. A lobster clasp is attached to the back. The middle piece is made up of a beaded hairpin. The one side is threaded onto the main piece […]

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 […]

Mix and Match Reversible Beaded Necklace

I had a few larger beads and I did not know what to use them for (my necklaces are usually more delicate). One day the inspiration came in a store catalog–the idea of combining one strand of large beads and six strands of small beads. It is wearable top side down or up. It can […]
