Coral Blues Necklace

The inspiration for this piece comes from the coral reefs, which to me is a beautiful harmonious blend of colour. I used American turquoise and pink salmon semi-precious beads for this necklace. For the centrepiece, individual beads were suspended on hand-made sterling silver head pins which were then strung unto beading wire. To finish off […]

Fernwood Forest Heart Leaf Gemstone Necklace

This beaded necklace is made up of green garnet lentil gemstones, oval-shaped wood beads, sterling silver beads and sterling Bali spacers. I added a Karen Hill Tribe heart-shaped leaf pendant and used a sterling silver clasp and chain to allow it to be adjustable. I was inspired by the lush green trees found in the […]

Pink Lemonade With Mint Necklace

This was my very first attempt at hand knotting beads. I was so nervous but had to try it. I loved the beautiful contrast that the color salmon has against turquoise. So, with this piece, I hand knotted polished round volcano cherry quartz agate & a stabilized oval turquoise bead on white nylon/silk thread for […]

Green & Beige Hearts & Vines Necklace

This necklace is made with a hand crafted heart shaped lampwork glass bead (crafted in an artists studio in the UK, 2cm x 1.8cm) in shades of light and dark green, beige, cream and brown, some Czech clear green glass beads, some beige cats-eye hearts and some silver plated solid metal Bali-like beads to finish.

Turquoise Nuggets Multistrand Bracelet

A Catapiller braclet woven with seed beads, turquoise, and agate.

Treasure Box Necklace Set

The inspiration for this set was the antique gold finish filigree pieces that seem to have a charm all their own. I connected the filigree pieces with jump rings, strung deep red, small glass disks, garnet and lime Swarovski crystals onto olive colored beading wire, and repeated the process to add more filigree pieces and […]

Faceted Fire Agate Bracelet

This piece is made with round faceted fire agate beads. The toggle clasp is sterling silver, as are the two end beads. I was inspired by the name of the stone. I started with the lighter agate, went to deep red back to light, like fire’s intensity can be.

Golden Ambition Bracelet

This bracelet was created with an off loom beadweaving technique using golden glass seed beads, embellished with semi-precious carnelian and blue freshwater pearls. As a healing stone, carnelian is believed to be a stone of ambition and drive. It protects the user from negative emotions and inspires positive courageous confidence.

Hammered Brass Disc Earrings

Antiqued brass donut / disc beads are the main feature of these earrings. Wire-wrapped dangles with green Czech fire-polished glass beads provide movement and contrast. It’s a simple design but striking, and the oxidation gives them an vintage look.

Crystal Floral Beaded Necklace

This beaded necklace was designed with smoked topaz (brown) Swarovski crystals, brown fossil beads, sterling silver beads, and copper/brown glass seed beads. The large floral pendant gives this necklace a subtle hint of vintage flare. It holds six large topaz rhinestones centered in each individual flower. Matching Swarovski crystals dangle off the end for a […]

Fire Agate Bracelet

This bracelet is made of clusters of wire wrapped fire agate rondells along with three fire agate cylindrical beads, two rectangle fire agates and Gemini zodiac charms which are attached to a metal chain. I used an S hook so adjusting this bracelet is easy. You can just hook it into any chain link. Maximum […]

Onyx And Crystal Bracelet

This bracelet is made with beautiful faceted onyx beads and Swarovski crystals. This bracelet ends using a heart shaped sterling silver toggle clasp. Bracelet is 8″ in length.

Olive Jade And Queensland Agate Necklace

This necklace is made using round olive jade beads, cultured freshwater pearls and an unbelievable Queensland agate and olive jade pendant. This necklace’s leaf shaped sterling silver toggle clasp is just as beautiful. Necklace is strung on softflex .019 beading wire and is 20″ in length.

Denim Blues Necklace

Love these big porcelain pendants–this beautiful faded edge one reminds me of faded jeans. It sits well with some simple lampwork beads and a chunky chain. I wire wrapped the opaque indigo glass lampwork beads and combined them with a steel textured oval chain, metallic seed beads, a textured porcelain pendant, and a hook closure.

Amber Double Strand Pendant Necklace

This longer length necklace set is made with lots of amber Czech pressed glass beads, some amber lampwork rounds and lots of silver coloured metal Bali-like beads to finish. The seed beads used are foil lined amber as are the bugle beads. All mounted on nylon cords and silver plated wire. Fastening to the back […]

Cotton Candy Necklace

I love pink and I wanted to make a necklace using pink glass beads. So when I finally found the right color pink glass beads I used them to make this piece which I named after cotton candy. The white beads are acrylic, the pink beads are glass, and there are silver toned spacers used […]

Ms. Suge Sugilite Necklace

This necklace was inspired by the Suge Avery character from the movie, “The Color Purple”. It is made up of several layers of deeply etched brass tubes which reflect the troubled layers her character possessed. The faceted crystal stones, potato pearls, mother of pearl shell beads and amethyst chips creates a halo that enhances the […]

Smoke Stack Earrings

These earrings were created using smokey quartz nuggets, silver plated chain and diasy spacers, smokey quartz rondelles, and sterling silver fishhook earwires.

Buttercup Charm Necklace

I have used a buttercup yellow rose and wire wrapped it along with some beige / latte coloured glass pearls. A little brass key and a flower also dangle from an antique brass hoop to complete the charms. I used antique brass cable chain and a heart lobster clasp to secure. I was inspired by […]

Acid Lime Stone Beaded Bracelet

I created this bracelet so that it would add playful color to any outfit. I fed acid lime gem stones onto a doubled bead wire (for strength) and ended the piece with an adjustable chain clasp for extra length as needed. I finished the chain with a beaded dangle to add detail.
