Faceted Crystal And Pearls Necklace
This is a very simple piece. Faceted flat top tear drop clear crystals are teamed up here with tiny fresh water pearls wrapped in sterling silver. The chain and clasp are sterling silver. The ‘pendant’ focal was strung onto a 22gauge sterling silver wire and attached to the sterling silver chain with jump rings.
Autumn Flower Necklace
This necklace combines the colours of brass, cream and amethyst. For the chainmail part I used 8mm rings, putting some 6/0 seedbeads on them before closing them. On the bottom of the focal I worked with the seam measure rings. For the connection with the chain I kettled some Swarovski and other beads between the […]
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 […]
Aaliyah Matti Necklace Set
The name and inspiration for this necklace set was derived from my late grandmother and favorite singer, the late Aaliyah. The beauty of this set just reminded me of their beauty. I worked with beautifully glowing faceted Peruvian blue chalcedony briolette beads and iridescent peach puff coin freshwater pearls. I strung the beads onto gold […]
Pearl & Sterling Treasure Necklace
This necklace reminds us of an oyster opening up, full of a pearly treasure! A sterling silver teardrop focal is hammered, textured and formed by hand, then oxidized and polished to bring out the gorgeous pattern. It is accented with peacock colored freshwater pearls, an almond twisted Swarovski pearl, and a single small white jade […]
Enameled Modern Leis
This piece is a handmade enameled necklace I created to represent the flowers I see everyday in my life. I love walking to work and seeing all the blossoms so I thought why not put them onto a necklace to see. I cut each and every flower out of copper, fused glass of varying colors, […]
Dream Catcher Necklace
This necklace was inspired by the Indian dream catchers. It has seven rings from a chain that I attached beads to with wire. I put a small yellow glass bead on the second and second to last ring, and a teal bead on the center ring. I also dangled three teal beads from the center […]
Amazonite Necklace With Smoky Quartz And Pearls
This piece is made with antique brass, amazonite, smoky quartz and pearls. Blue and brown make a nice color combo, and amazonite and smoky quartz are two of my favorite gemstones, so I figured the two stones would look great in a necklace with a little bit of white thrown in somewhere. I took a […]
Garden Romance Necklace
I love anything dainty and feminine. The pinks, reds, ribbons and rose beads bring that out in this piece. This necklace is very simplistic in construction. I fed rose gold rope chain to through the porcelain beads and the center focal bead, which is faceted carnelian agate. To keep the beads in place, I used […]
Brown And Cream Freshwater Pearl Necklace
My love for chocolate inspired this piece. I made it with brown, copper, and creamy pink colored freshwater pearls that I wrapped with 14kt gold filled wire. I decided the Y-drop was the perfect accent for it. I then finished it off with a 14kt gold filled lobster clasp and some medium sized 14kt gold […]
Purple Cascade Necklace
Perfect to wear on a night out or to dress up a cute tank and pair of blue jeans. This necklace is made of purple coin pearls, Swarovski crystals, and sterling silver wire and chain.
Silver Spirals Necklace
This necklace set was made with some beads my grandmother gave me. I found that bead wrapping was a great way to improve a necklace. Once I added chain to it, I had two small lengths that I would not be able to use so I decided to experiment with their position on the necklace. […]
Retro Glamour Necklace
I have strung an old black floral button with a diamantee attached on to an antique silver style cable chain. Faceted black beads, Swarovski crystals, pink licorice beads and another old button are mixed together to create this necklace. I tried to create a retro feel with this necklace by using beads that reminded me […]
Rose Swarovski Necklace
I am a huge fan of pearls, and I love to use them in many pieces. In this piece I combined a creme coin shaped pearl with 4mm rose Swarovski crystals and attached them to an 18 inch silver plated chain. I think they are a great combination!
City Necklace – Copper and Blue Swarovski
Pure copper findings and swarovski crystals in shades of blue. I made this with the London underground in mind, the copper tubing was for the tunnels, the rings for the tracks and the crystals to symbolise the lighting. It has two chains at the back with crystals that dangle down over the shoulders.
Byzantine Rose Choker With Fresh Water Pearls
This is a Byzantine rose weave with fresh water pearl dangles. I coiled and cut the rings myself except for the dangle chain. I purchased the rings to make them. The rings used are 5mm ID and 3.5mm ID 18 gauge on the main choker and the dangle chains are 2.5mm 22 gauge. Fresh water […]
Hippy Chick Necklace
I used a Bronze Metal Clay pendant by Summers Studio, lengths of brass chain, and an assortment of Czech glass beads, leaves, and flowers. I wanted to make something airy, fun, and a little playful without it being too girly-girl. It can be worn with jeans and a t-shirt or a blouse and a long, […]
Vintage Locket Necklace
This necklace uses a vintage brass floral locket as a pendant. The locket is wire wrapped to a mix of white freshwater pearls and faceted clear quartz. The stones are then connected to a medium weight gold filled cable chain. The necklace has an adjustable length of 19 to 21 inches, with a keishi pearl […]
Copper, Wood & Bali Bead Ornate Pendant
The focal drop is a hand crafted lampwork bead that is clear with a copper swirl lining. The necklace includes dark wood round beads, Czech faceted smokey brown beads and some silver coloured metal Bali-like beads, bead caps and hanger to finish. The seed beads are clear dark brown and the bugle beads are metallic […]
Collage Pendant With White Crystal Agate Druzy
I started out with the fabulous crystal agate druzy. To get together an interesting mix of complimenting gemstones, I chose different shapes, sizes, colors and textures of Prehnite, amethyst, garnet, apatite, citrine and peridot. The ‘backplate’ is a round shaped grid which offers options to fix the gemstones anywhere you like and is also solid […]
