Marlee Turquoise Necklace
This necklace was built around these beautiful lampwork beads, to which I added turquoise, picture jasper, and silver-plated spacer beads. I strung the beads on accuflex wire and finished the necklace with a silver “S” hook. I added an extender chain, so that it can be worn short or longer depending on what neckline you […]
Antique Turquoise Collar
I made this antique turquoise piece using 2 sizes of round turquoise beads. You may use from 8mm for the smaller ones and 20mm for the big ones to have this effect. I use wire wrapping technique for each dangle with bronze eye pins to get that antique effect that would match the spider veins […]

It measures 17″ around and has a toggle clasp. I used two strands […]

Twisted Wire Turquoise Bracelet
I started with two pieces of 24 gauge silver plated wire and twisted them together.

I repeated this technique to create 5 strands, and then I tangled the strands together in a random way.
Festive Pink Cuff

Casual Salsa Necklace

Different Heart
This necklace is a combination of metal findings, chain, Miyuki bugles and a heart pendant. I got the idea by playing with bugles. At the same time I received an order of the beautiful metal pieces. I knew right then that these materials should be put together in one lovely necklace.
Pink Daisies Jump Ring Anklet
I created this piece a few months ago, but it was only half-finished. I knew I wanted to make an anklet from the daisy chainmail weave. It’s just so beautiful that I knew it would look great on an ankle. After using my 16 gauge sterling silver, I got the basic length of the anklet, […]
