Citrus Choker

This 3-strand choker reminds me of a fruity salad. There’s a strand of red coral round beads, a stand of green peridot beads and a strand of orange carnelian beads all connected with 3-hole metal spacers. The 3″ drop has a large dark green glass teardrop at the end. I also made a bracelet that […]

Coloured Pon Pon Necklace

This necklace was made with 0.80 mm. wire and coloured beads using wire wrapping techniques.

New York Black & White Cookie Necklace

Hand sculpted of polymer clay, silver bail and steel choker wire with magnetic closure. I wanted to make something unique to this area so that people could have a bit of “home” or “a taste of NYC” with them wherever they went.

Elegance Necklace

This necklace is strung on wire with white glass seed beads, brown, yellow and clear crystal 6mm bicones, with a silver plated toggle closure. My inspiration for this piece was simply to try to match a brown, white & black stripe shirt that I have. I think it gives a great business look for the […]

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.

Burnt Orange Bronze Necklace

I wanted to make something that makes a statement, so I used a large textured bronze pendant and attached three strands of small beads on one side, and one strand of larger beads on the other side. I added a few charms to the pendant and finished it with a bronze chain and toggle clasp […]

Goddess Pendant Necklace

This 21″ necklace is made using 16ga copper wire, some really nice matte glass beads, and some African trade beads from Ghana. The 4″ bone goddess hangs between two fluted brass beads. I like this necklace for it’s “earthy” feel. The African trade beads were acquired at a flea market where I came upon a […]

Triple Fantasy Necklace

This multi-strand piece is one of my favorites. After adding the black, brown and natural beads together it ended up being a triple. I really think the silver spacers and the inside chain set this piece off to be a great necklace. That is my opinion of course!

Pearl & Tigers Eye Necklace And Earring Set

I purchased this gorgeous pendant from an online auction, but didn’t like the pendant bail that came with it. It was too large. I cut it off and used industrial strength glue to attach a tiger’s eye bead to the pendant and used it as an attachment point for the necklace. I then strung matching […]

Pink Dangle Necklace

I found the large silver wire pendant in a craft shop and it took me quite a while to come up with something to put it with. I used bright pink stones along with some pearly beads in pink and cream. I added the bunch to an extra long black cord to create a long […]

Ruby Meets Soo Chow Jade Necklace

This set was created with carved Soo Chow jade, Swarovski crystals, black twisted glass beads and the focal piece is a stunning sterling pendant of genuine ruby with zoisite. Initially the pendant was very difficult to match but the Jade proved successful in color-tone and texture. When it finally came together, I was so delighted […]

Winter Grass Necklace

I have used my own hand rolled paper beads with glass and Chinese nephrite to create this truly unique and unusual neck adornment! There are two different types of paper beads used: rolled magazine and sponge painted construction paper cylinder beads. Both types are clear coated with glossy polyurethane for added durablity.

Gold Wire Wrapped Necklace

This necklace consists of 0.80mm gold colour wire and 11mm glass pearls.

Red Mayan Pendant Necklace

Memory wire was used. Beaded with black and red glass beads. The middle front has silver spacers. A round ring piece is connected with a split ring and beads and charms are connected to that with head and eye pins. I love red and this is one of my favourites in my collection!

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.

Vintage Garden Necklace

Antiqued gold cable chain and textured rings, amazonite faceted nuggets, bronze potato pearls and aged brass wire are wirewrapped together to form this necklace. An aged brass leaf charm, a turquoise Czech fluted flower with a Picasso finish, and a copper Swarovski crystal bicone dangle from the main ring. I formed and hammered brass wire […]

Queen Of The Night

A necklace inspired by Verdi, the Magic Flute. I learned this bead embroidery technique in a book by Heidi Kummli and Sherry Serafini. The cabochon face, was done by me in cold mass of glass, and painted. The materials I used were Miyuki seed beads, Czech bugle beads, pearls, rocailles, and fire-polished beads. Some decoration, […]

Sea Palling Iolite Necklace

For this piece I wanted intimate how the sea – beautiful but menacing – is threatening our coastline. Sea Palling is a village on the North Norfolk coast which is under threat from coastal erosion. I tried to capture both the beauty of the sea and the threat in this necklace of inky blue iolite […]
