Orange Madness Necklace Set
I fell in love with these bulky ceramic beads. Their surface is shiny and smooth and they have a funky look. I combined them with glass beads to lighten and brighten them and at the same time enhance their orange shades. I put together different shapes to achieve a more dynamic composition. I did not […]
Pretty In Pink Strawberry Quartz Pendant Necklace
Created with rose quartz, pink czech glass, pink and gold lampwork, crystal, gold and a stunning circular strawberry quartz pendant. The necklace measures 16 and one half inches and the pendant is 1 and one half inches in diameter. I used a gold toggle clasp to finish it.
Farewell, Gabriel Bracelet
I’ve been experimenting with various styles of wirework. This bracelet is comprised of hand-coiled wire swirls, a handmade wire clasp, blue and red glass beads, and metal spacers. I made charms out of some of the red and blue beads, adding them to the wire swirl charms, and the result is a colorful mix of […]
Jet and Topaz Necklace
This necklace is of glass beads – Jet daggers and Topaz ovals. The necklace and matching bracelet is available for purchase here.
Oceans Of Malachite And Aventurine Necklace
In the heat of summer, I wanted to create an oasis of cool colors. I started with a silver, green, and blue pendant which I wrapped in green 20 gauge wire with a few silver spacers. I combined some of my grandmother’s large malachite beads with aventurine rounds, lapis lazuli chips, green seed beads, silver […]
Jessica’s Big Blue Glass Drop Necklace
Inspired by a friend who wanted something bright for an outfit, this dichroic glass necklace was designed with a simple bright blue oversized glass drop hanging on small silver lined crystal seed beads (so they wouldn’t compete with the drop and would add some “bling” at the same time). While simply composed, this piece is […]
Earthy Delights Necklace
I made this necklace using a ceramic pendant that is handmade by RedCrowArts of Etsy. It is handstamped with a leafy pattern and glazed a beautiful green color. I paired this pendant with gorgeous fancy jasper disc beads, green spotty Czech glass, faceted glass rondelles, and teal blue glass petal beads. On the front of […]
Mountain Mist Necklace
I love being able to use up leftover beads to create a beautiful eclectic piece. I used gold beading wire to string green agate chips, green glass beads of different shapes and sizes, clear Swarovski bicones, and green metallic seed beads. This is one of my favorite brass clasps, so I had to have it […]
Spring Maiden
Diane Breglieb’s ‘The Face’ accompanied by vintage glass cabs, swarovskis, pearls, and of course, seed beads.
Antiqued Copper Pearl Necklace
This necklace was designed with 7-8mm antiqued golden copper freshwater cultured pearls. I separated each pearl with small clear glass seed beads. Chrysolite Swarovski Austrian crystals and sterling silver beads are also used to design this necklace. The large pendant measures 2″x2″ and features colors of frosted amber/copper with hints of green. I finished this […]
Maile Leaf With Fresh Water Pearls And Green Glass Leaves
The pendant was the inspiration for this piece. It’s a Hawaiian Maile leaf (from my home state), dipped in gold. My husband wore a fragrant Maile leaf lei in our wedding, so Maile leaves have sentimental value for me. The rest of the necklace is comprised of green glass leaves, and other green glass beads […]
The Love Necklace
This necklace is made of clear fluted fire polished glass beads which have a beautiful Aurora Borealis finish. (An Aurora Borealis Finish refers to a rainbow-like finish added to the outside of the bead. It gives added shine and play of color to each bead.) Each bead is separated with red foil lined glass seed […]
Autumn Spirit Necklace
This was made with recycled vintage materials including vintage glass beads, vintage brass beads, and a focal bead made from a vintage earring. I played with the rhythm on this piece, varying the bead positions. My inspiration was the fall season and all its glory. Recycling vintage materials is a wonderful way to be kind […]
Orange And Blue Swirls Necklace
I wanted to create a piece with bold blues and oranges, a fun color combination I think. I tried a few different pendant ideas which either didn’t sit right on the neck or didn’t work well with the necklace before settling on the pendants in the picture. I used blue 18 gauge wire to create […]
Blue Agate And Labradorite Necklace
My inspiration for this necklace were these large 12x18mm blue agate beads. They are like a cool faceted barrel. I wanted the blue to stand out so I added the leaf-cut labradorite beads with the blue flash to match the blue in the agate. In between each labradorite are 2 glass beads and a clear […]
Three-strand Purple Bracelet with Charms
I was just playing around with some leftover beads from a double-strand watch project when I made this bracelet. The heart charm was an afterthought because I was having fun shaping eyepins and made a few different ones. I used crackle glass beads, metal spacer beads, stone disc beads, hematite beads, one interesting glass bead […]
Beaded Gold Heart Necklace
Hearts don’t have to be pink! This unique necklace was designed with a stunning large gold heart focal glass bead that has a black and cream swirl design. I added gold foiled glass seed beads, matching yellow crystals and black Swarovski Crystals along with gold plated nugget beads.
Brazen Necklace
I created this necklace by stringing African Blue stones, Blueberry glass, Bronzite, Czech Fire-polished bronze glass beads, and seed beads. This necklace is finished off with an antique silver lobster claw clasp.
Just Beachy Sea Glass Bracelet
After finding these perfectly round, vintage sea glass beads while shopping for supplies, I knew I had to incorporate them into a fun jewelry design for the summer. Because of their size (12mm), I immediately thought of a bracelet. To enhance the colors of the beads, I created a simple color pattern, detailed with just […]
Fall Passion Beaded Necklace
This necklace was designed with jet faceted fire polished glass beads, khaki Swarovski Austrian crystals, and beautiful silver caps. The matching pendant is a large glass donut wrapped with black glass seed beads. The necklace measures 19″, with pendant hanging down 2″.
