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 […]

Summer Necklace

This necklace is made of various Swarovski crystals and silver findings. It is strung on Beadalon 49 .018 silver plated steel wire. I love both of these materials, and I think they suit each other very well.

Seaside Rendezvous Necklace

I bought the very nice fossilized coral squares first and tried to make them fit with other bead combinations that just weren’t working. I went to a bead show and saw the African opal rondelles and amazonite beads that looked great together and thought of my pretty squares back home. I was delighted that they […]

Courage Under Fire Necklace

I used a combination of red coral chips and chunks with cube shaped, black onyx beads, spaced throughout with silver toned spacer beads. This necklace was strung on tiger tail wire. I liked the almost punky look of this piece and the combo of red and black. Finished with a sterling silver toggle clasp. 20″ […]

Green Aventurine Pendant Necklace

I have been creatively thinking about how to dress up a plain donut pendant for weeks now and this weekend I finally came up with something new that I really liked that I have not ever seen done anywhere. I got so excited I made 4 new pendant necklaces – spent my entire Sunday making […]

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 […]

Angel Chakra Healing Necklace

This piece was made with tiger tail and semi-precious gemstone chips with a low nickel clasp, each colour relates to one of the chakras in the body (energy systems that affect our emotions, mental and physical energies). The crystals used help to balance and align these chakras to infuse you with health, peace and vitality […]

Terra Cotta & Turquoise Necklace

This necklace has a silver toggle that goes in front. Whenever I see someone wearing a necklace of this style, I always love the way it looks. This one consists of 4 mm terra cotta beads, turquoise stones, teal-colored “E” beads, short bugle beads in white, and silver wire coils I shaped with round-nose pliers. […]

Red Earth Pendant Necklace

Created using sterling silver wire work, exquisite burnt orange agate, fire agate and vintage sterling silver. The agate pendant is wrapped in sterling silver 20 gauge wire. The sterling silver beads are vintage from the 1960’s. The wire wrapped pendant measures 3 inches. Overall length is 20 inches.

Autumn Jade Necklace

Inspired by colorful, fragrant, crisp autumn leaves. Large slabs of rich yellow jade, small cream and brown round beads of jasper and oval white potato pearls capture the best of my favorite season! Wire-strung with sterling silver crimps and crimp covers. Secured with a magnificent laced, long-oval sterling silver clasp.

Shell Necklace and Earrings

This necklace and earring set is made of curly shells, clam puff shells, and 6mm and 4mm green pearls. The findings are silver toggles, headpins and earwires.

Blue Crescent Necklace

Very simple and fun piece! I’ve used a tigertail wire base, with no clasps. Inexpensive materials include: blue ceramic disc beads in small and large, tiger eye beads, a dichroic glass pendant, and a few metallic seed beads! Make sure to make the initial strand very long! Good luck!

Teal & Silver Swirls Necklace

Made with a very pretty (3.8cm, domed with flat back) hand crafted swirled clay pendant that has a glittery finish to it, some silver plated solid metal beads and some very small sterling silver square cut spacers to finish. The silver swirl detailing is made with silver plated wire. The seed beads used are foil […]

Simple Things Necklace Set

For the necklace and bracelet I used crimp beads and beadalon wire. For the earrings I used eypepins and moon stones.

Pearl Spear Necklace

A chain and wire-strand necklace with a hammered steel toggle clasp. Made with sodalite beads and pendant, small Swarovski bicone crystals, and mother-of-pearl spears. Simply attach the tigertail wire to one end of a bit of chain, string your beads, and then connect the wire to the other side of the chain! All materials used […]

Purple Donut Lariat Necklace

This necklace is made with Beadalon stringing wire, seed beads, wood pieces, glass and cat’s eye. It features a medium size purple glass donut as the centerpiece and the end. I was inspired to make this piece because of a beautiful purple flower I saw at Butterfly World. I wanted to make the two sides […]

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 […]

Heart Of Light Necklace

I created this piece from rainforest jasper (rhyolite) and carnelian, and 24k vermeil bali spacers. I was inspired by nature, the lush green of the rainforest, and the glow of an orange sunrise. I used silver-plated beading wire because I love the glow it creates within the carnelian beads. Gold filled twisted crimps, and a […]

Romantic Amethyst Beaded Necklace

The materials in my piece consist of amethyst colored beads, a beautiful shell pendant with a fantastic sheen and smoothness, a charm to accent the pendant, and to finish the necklace off I used a heart toggle clasp. It was constructed using simple techniques … I simply strung the beads onto a copper wire, and […]
