Bead Weaving Necklace Beading Ideas, Page 2

Princess Net Necklace

This piece I worked long and hard on. I used imitation pearls and black seed beads, with tigertail wire and silver headpins. I saw a necklace in this style but with different colors and it was not as sassy. I saw the necklace as a challenge for me so I decided to look at it […]

Warm Red Knitted Bead Necklace

I knitted the neck part from waxed cord and I used beads and ribbon for the front piece.

Olivia Necklace

The blue, green and dark grey 6 mm bead combination and the intricate central motif add up to a vibrant necklace that makes me think about spring and blossoms. This necklace measures about 46cm and it is finished with a silver plated lobster clasp and a chain that makes it adjustable.

Spring Maiden

Diane Breglieb’s ‘The Face’ accompanied by vintage glass cabs, swarovskis, pearls, and of course, seed beads.

Red Fringe Crocheted Bead Choker

This choker is crocheted with beads. I used a needle to add the fringe after I completed the bead crochet.

Green Man Necklace

I fell in love with this Green Man lampwork bead, from Claire-Louise Patrick of Ciel Creations and wanted to make something that would suggest the abundance of the life cycle he represents. The necklace is in freeform spiral weave using Japanese seed beads with lots of Czech pressed glass leaves with flowers and butterflies and […]

Flame Necklace

As I work with an open flame I felt it was appropriate to create a necklace celebrating my passion. In this necklace my handmade lampwork beads, gemstones, and Japanese seed beads are finger woven together with my forged sterling silver pieces suggesting the lick of the flame.

Mystery Of China Necklace

First I made some different size peyote stitch beads with nylon thread. Then I made one rose from organza and one of iron thread. I then constructed it, using different glass beads between the larger components.

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 […]

Diamond Drop Choker

Three different sizes of glass bicone beads are used, along with gold wire. I also substitute 6mm round or oblong lampwork beads for the center piece on the diamond. This is a fun piece to make and looks great with every outfit, from jeans to formal gowns.

Fall Rhapsody Necklace Set

The idea of this set came to me last fall and was inspired on a very sunny day. It was what we call Golden Fall. First, I weaved the necklace base using vertical netting stitch technique. I used tiny seed Czech beads #12 of amber color. Then I made seven leaves for the necklace and […]

Double-strand DNA Necklace

When I saw a sample of stitching seed beads into the twisted rope called DNA, I had to try it. It’s pretty time-consuming, especially with small #11 seed beads. After many weeks of starting and stopping, this is the result. I added silver spacers, my favorite green triangular beads and a toggle clasp.

Back To Nature Necklace

This is a piece I have always wanted to create and many hours later I have succeeded! I have used the method of finger weaving to achieve this look incorporating gemstones, seed beads and my lampwork beads.

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.

Catherine Cross Choker

A two-needle RAW weave using Swarovski 3mm pearls and Swarovski crystal bicones. The fastening is a beaded 8mm Swarovski pearl. The name is a reference to Catherine the Great, who was patron of the Arts while she reigned in Russia. The cross is a right angle weave exercise taught in Moscow beading schools.
