Romantic Amethyst Beaded Necklace

The materials in my piece consist of amethyst colored beads, a beautiful shell pendant with a fantastic sheen and smoothness, a charm to accent the pendant, and to finish the necklace off I used a heart toggle clasp. It was constructed using simple techniques … I simply strung the beads onto a copper wire, and […]

Chunky Glass Necklace

I’ve created this necklace using 20mm gold and red gold and red glass silver foil lampwork rectangle beads. A large 25mm by 25mm sterling silver heart dangles as a focal point on this necklace. I’ve used gold and silver Bali spacer beads along with red glass berry beads to create an ending to connect the […]

Good Juju Wire Wrapped Collar

This piece was inspired by a friend’s Kenyan necklace made of bone & horn. I loved the strong shapes and the way the horns tapered around the sides of the neck. My beaded version looks nothing like hers, but it captures a similar earthy, bold feeling. I made frames with 20 gauge sterling plated copper […]

Ram Horn Peyote Stitch Necklace

I was influenced by Hittite figures and forms for this piece. I used the peyote technique with Japanese seed beads size 13 and size 15. The figure at the center of the necklace is handmade from 22 carat gold. I also used herringbone technique for clamps.

Dance With Beads Bib Necklace

The […]

Spirit Yeah I Have It

I bought this antique key from an antique seller last summer. I finally got the nerve to use it. I attached some dangles of wire-wrapped beads and a SPIRIT charm from Earthenwood Studios, to the handle. The chain is made up of Green jade rectangular tube beads, that are each wire looped to each other […]

Inspired by beautiful, snowy New England nights,this necklace is made of coin-shaped amethyst with white striation, dark amethyst rondelles, oval frosted moonstone beads, spun sterling silver oval beads, and a large rectangular piece of amethyst for a focal bead. Together they inspire the magic of snowflakes against a dark sky. The piece is strung on […]

Offering To Pele Necklace

This is a one-of-a-kind necklace made with 3 beads made from real lava from the Hawaiian Islands. I used red acrylic beads to accentuated the black lava. Black and red glass beads continue the trend up to be highlighted with clear and black spatter glass beads. I love the mythology of Pele and what this […]

Hematite Necklace

This necklace was a commissioned piece. It is made of a hematite cabochon sculpted into a pendant with anti-tarnish sterling silver wire. The necklace is made by stringing together hematite beads and fresh water pearls. I made the clasp with sterling silver wire. This necklace is 15″ in length.

Onyx and Hematite Protection Necklace

I was given this pendant for the holidays one year by my fiance. The sterling silver case holds a small removable chime intended to protect the wearer. I strung alternating smooth round beads in black onyx and hematite to create this double strand necklace. I finished the piece with a handcrafted sterling silver toggle clasp.

Sincerity Necklace and Bracelet Set

This is a three-piece set made with 16mm irregular oval shaped mother-of-pearl beads, mother-of-pearl chips, 6mm white freshwater pearls and 6mm smokey quartz rondelles. Necklace ends with ornate sterling silver cones and sterling silver balloon clasp. Bracelet is double strand and has a short silver extender chain for a flexible fit.

Tale Of A Seahorse Necklace

First I formed the frame by hand – no solder here, all cold connections. Once the frame was secured I used countless feet of hair thin wire to stitch the hundreds of 2mm – 4mm sterling silver beads. I added some beautiful blue apatite beads around the belly for a splash of color, and another […]

Montgomery West Jewelry Set

This set was made using glass beads with a brown and yellow swirled pattern, glass pearls and smokey topaz Swarovski crystals. I made the ‘S’ clasp on both the necklace and the bracelet from 16 gauge brass wire.

Grass Koi Necklace

This necklace was made using Beadalon 49 strand flexible wire and was inspired by the idea of the lush green surroundings of a summer pond. The fish pendant is Hill Tribe Thai silver, and the beads are vintage West German Givre glass, Swarovski crystal, Delica seed beads, Czech glass, and celery colored freshwater pearls. The […]

Blue Lapis Filigree Snowflake Pendant Necklace

This beaded pendant necklace features blue lapis gemstones, jet Swarovski crytals, sterling silver Bali and a beautiful silvertone Snowflake Cut Filigree Metal Pendant. With a sterling silver clasp this necklace measures 18″. This necklace was inspired by snowflakes falling against the midnight sky. I also made coordinating beaded earrings which are on my website.

Little Bit Gypsy

About 3 years ago I made a bracelet “Gypsy” (also on Beadage), with the intention to make a necklace as well, because I really fell in love with this bracelet. And then…nothing, no inspiration. Then the contest “Best Dutch Beadworkartist 2014” came up. After finishing my contest necklace “Wild Flower” I felt like finishing that […]

Ming Tea Necklace

Ming Tea 22″ Necklace and 7 1/2″ braclet take on an ancient age using two imported 900 year old Ming pottery shards delicately framed as the focal beads. I also make 2,000 year old coin jewelry, so found it a treat to find out about the ancient Chinese Ming pottery shards from a artisan friend, […]
