Leopard Of The Jungle

I found the three leopard print beads in a bag of things from a yard sale – adding the pearls and rust colored beads and made this lovely necklace of the jungle. When I saw the three of them I knew they would find a place on my display stand.

Sun Goddess Necklace

I wove a freshwater pearl with golden seed beads to create a rose feature. I used strong fireline to weave the seed beads around the freshwater pearl. I made a circle with the seed beads and then wove the pearl on, then working in rounds I added the petals. Around the rose sit clusters of […]

Pretty In Yellow Tiger Eye Necklace

I was charmed by the warm color of this big semiprecious stone and thought of using it as a focal bead. To highlight its glow I placed at each side of it a metal bead in bright silver. The brown and yellow tones of tiger eye beads complement its rich yellow hue.

Malachite Glass Necklace

This necklace was made of lampworked beads by Mimi from Mimi Art Glass. She creates many styles of jewelry, inluding some remarkable lampworked beads. From Mimi: The ancient Egyptians often used glass beads in jewelry to emulate precious stones. This inspired me to create lampworked beads for this one of a kind necklace that resembled […]

Chunky Green Necklace

To get the sturdy shape of the necklace I used about 4 lengths of wire together and formed it into the shape of a horse shoe. Then I attached the clasp on each end. Starting from one end, with one strand of wire I threaded different beads (in the same colour group) on and twisted […]

Sunshine Fabric Flower Necklace

I used cloth and vinyl to form the base for this necklace. The shape and bright colors are in honour of the sun, for the spring/summer season now coming to my country.

White Rose Of Texas

I started by gluing the white resin rose to the leather, and then embroidered around it with white seed beads, crystals and pearls. I backed the creation with camel-colored leather. The necklace is strung with white beads of stone and resin as well as crystals of different sizes. It is about 20″ long.

The necklace consists of three strands of seed beads, E-beads, glass beads and silver coils I shaped with round-nose pliers. The earrings consist of the same elements, although the coils are much smaller.

Wild Orchid Necklace Set

This necklace and earrings set consists of sterling silver findings, carnelian beads, and rose quartz chips. The centerpiece of the necklace is a carved carnelian rose.

Copper Wire Spiral Necklace

The ideas for this set came to me in piece meal. It took longer to decide what to do next than it did to actually make it. The beads in this set are Crazy Horse (which I love), and Natural New Jade for accent beads. The wire is copper. All parts, (except for the beads), […]

Cowrus Men’s Hemp Necklace

This is a 19″ hemp necklace designed for men (it’s a bit thicker than normal). It contains 6 cowrie shells and a BUNCH of metallic colored plastic beads. I started off with regular square knot and adding the metallic beads. I strung the cowrie shells by adding a jump ring to either end of the […]

It was constructed using simple techniques … I simply strung the beads onto a copper wire, and […]

Denim In Style Necklace Set

This was a very ordinary necklace made with textured glass pearls and, believe it or not, plastic bicones. I transformed the piece into something extraordinary just by adding some danglers made with silver tubes and tanzanite blue Swarovski crystals. A silver toggle clasp completes the piece. Earrings with the same danglings complements the necklace.
