Wire and Button Necklace
I made this necklace and bracelet set using silver buttons and 18 gauge silver wire. I put one end of the wire through the hole of the button & formed it into a spiral. Then I bent it flat against the button. Then I made a spiral with the remaining wire. I repeated the process […]
Purple Swirl Wire Necklace
This piece started out as three hand-made lamp work beads. I had no idea what to do with them for over a month. One day I decided I was going to make something with them if it killed me. I had wanted to try a woven bail treatment and I thought this would be the […]
Agate Wire Pendant
This pendant is made of Agate Semi-precious stone with non-tarnish Silver Artistic wire.
Swirl Pearls Pendant
I used wire wrapping in the construction of this pendant. I started by shaping the wire in a swirl shape and then started attaching the beads to it using freshwater creme pearls and 6mm purple bicone beads. Then, I finished it by a wire wrapped purple briolette. A silver tone chain is attached.
Turquoise And Coral Dream
A friend of mine had imagined a piece like this for years, but could never find a ready-made one. She asked me to create her “dream” necklace. After a week of emails and questions, I visited my favorite bead shop and found 15mm coral beads, 4mm turquoise beads and a huge 45mm turquoise go-go to […]
Marshmallow Turquoise And Chain Necklace
For this necklace I used round marshmallow turquoise beads, cultured freshwater pearls, and sterling silver chain. The beads are strung on .019 softflex and then crimped onto the chain. I used a round hammered toggle clasp which is wire wrapped to a pearl and then the chain. I love how the pearls work with the […]
Copper Explosion Necklace
This piece is made by stringing the larger green and brown beads on stringing wire and then threading string wire through those beads and stringing the copper colored beads on the end. Everything is held in place with crimp beads. There are three strands of wire for the necklace. The strands are braided together to […]
Aventurine Chips And Rounds Triple Strand Necklace
This necklace is mainly made from aventurine chips and dark and light 8mm round aventurine beads strung on wire and connected with simple wire loops. I completed the necklace with fine triple copper link chain and a brass lobster claw. The triple strands overlaps naturally when worn.
Vintage Treasures Necklace
This necklace is one of a kind. It reminds me of something you would find in a treasure box. The large beads are all vintage. The necklace also contains glass pearls in almond and black, copper Czech glass beads, snowflake obsidian, hematite, and textured circles. I put each individual bead on wire and linked them […]
Smoky Quartz & Gold Chain Necklace Set
This set consists of faceted smoky quartz stones that are suspended between links of 14kt gold filled flat cable chain. This set was inspired by the warm colors associated with the fall season. The necklace is secured with a 14kt gold filled lobster claw clasp, and the earrings are set on 14kt gold filled round […]
Dorian Necklace With Pendant
This necklace consists of golden plated beads, golden plated wire, turquoise beads, and a turquoise donut. The base is coiled around the beads and woven in a fan shape between the turquoise beads. The pendant is woven in a dorian style. I wove and coiled another turquoise bead in the lower part. The lace chain […]
Saturn Pendant
I wanted to use this lovely glowing Chalcedony bead as a pendant, but it really needed some added interest and color. I hand formed the ring/frame out of thick 18g wire in roughly a similar yet different shape to the gemstone. I then hammered it and used 28g soft copper wire to wrap it with […]
Jungle Fever Necklace
Translucent green glass round beads on brass wire, Vintaj brass hook and eye clasp and Vintaj brass leaf pendant. I love using brass in my jewelry. It’s a look that you don’t always see around.
Royal Renaissance Necklace
I was an avid fan of HBOs “The Tudors” and never missed an episode. Besides being entertaining (if not 100% historically correct) I loved the costumes and jewelry. I created this piece from wire shaped into small, medium, and large flower bases then added seed and vintage/new beads to each flower. I worked on this […]
Denim Blues Necklace
Love these big porcelain pendants–this beautiful faded edge one reminds me of faded jeans. It sits well with some simple lampwork beads and a chunky chain. I wire wrapped the opaque indigo glass lampwork beads and combined them with a steel textured oval chain, metallic seed beads, a textured porcelain pendant, and a hook closure.
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 […]
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.
All Year Round – Tree Pendant
I decided to make this pendant as a display of a whole year in the life of a deciduous tree. It is a wire wrapped solid copper pendant, showcasing a bare, winter tree with the attached Czech glass leaves displaying the seasons change. Starting with bright, lush green leaves in spring, a sparkling pale pink […]
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 […]
The Winning Heart Necklace
When Rick wanted to add few hearts in this necklace for his wife’s birthday, I thought that his hearts will disappear in the blue ocean with sea creatures but one big heart could be a winner. I created this three-in-one using my own beads that were made from Effetre, recycled glass and sea creature charms […]
