Red Aventurine Necklace

I started with the aventurine and added the pearls and crystals in colors that would give a fall themed look.

Maile Leaf With Fresh Water Pearls And Green Glass Leaves

The pendant was the inspiration for this piece. It’s a Hawaiian Maile leaf (from my home state), dipped in gold. My husband wore a fragrant Maile leaf lei in our wedding, so Maile leaves have sentimental value for me. The rest of the necklace is comprised of green glass leaves, and other green glass beads […]

Not Your Mothers Pearl Necklace

I took the softest black suede cord, approx. 72 inches and after each knot I would string a freshwater pearl that was hand-wrapped with fine silver. I would repeat this pattern randomly to the end of the cord. Then I would double wrap and sometimes triple wrap making it a multi-stranded necklace. I finished it […]

Chrysolite Swarovski Austrian crystals and sterling silver beads are also used to design this necklace. The large pendant measures 2″x2″ and features colors of frosted amber/copper with hints of green. I finished this […]

Orange And Blue Swirls Necklace

I wanted to create a piece with bold blues and oranges, a fun color combination I think. I tried a few different pendant ideas which either didn’t sit right on the neck or didn’t work well with the necklace before settling on the pendants in the picture. I used blue 18 gauge wire to create […]
