Koala Scribbly Pendant
Starting from a design for ‘wiggly’ chain by Linda Jones, this was inspired by the Scribble Bark gum tree which looks as if Koalas have been slip-sliding down the tree. Gold plate wire, with a green venetian-style glass bead and two little clear Swarovski crystals. The ends of the fine leather thong are bound in […]
Collage Pendant With White Crystal Agate Druzy
I started out with the fabulous crystal agate druzy. To get together an interesting mix of complimenting gemstones, I chose different shapes, sizes, colors and textures of Prehnite, amethyst, garnet, apatite, citrine and peridot. The ‘backplate’ is a round shaped grid which offers options to fix the gemstones anywhere you like and is also solid […]
Flower Ribbon Necklace
I created a hot pink organza ribbon flower and attached it to the center of the necklace. I then strung together hot pink, cool pink and black faceted beads to create colorful strands of dangling drops. I added three cool pink pearls at the top of the strands for contrast of color. I used silver […]
Lemon Jade Necklace
This necklace is made with a yellow lemon jade gemstone set in one of my silver beadrings. It is connected to other unique patterned silver links. On the other side is a silver spiral linked to an antique silver flower patterned round link attaching to the focal. The focal is a twisted silver circle with […]
Handmade Chain With Pearls
This necklace I made from wire cutted in to small pieces and made into “links” to from a chain. Light blue swarovski pearls was added to finish it of. This is very time consuming but the result was worth every second.
A Marriage In Purple
Purple is one of my husband’s favorite colors and animal print is one my weaknesses. So accidentally dropping a dyed hammer-shell bead next to a piece of purple leather in my workroom made me think the two were meant to marry! I accented zebra print shells, mother-of-pearl nugget shells and hand-cut leather with multi-shaped black […]
Carmenita Necklace and Earrings
Exotic necklace made of Amethyst stones, red-brown Agate chip stones, Swraovksi pearls. The center drop contains Amethyst and red-brown agate stone (attached with a black Swarovski crystal. I specially designed this for my friend from Vietnam for her birthday. I really like the colour combination. It’s easy to make but takes a lot of patience, […]
Neo-victorian Serpentine And Frosted Glass Necklace
For this necklace I started with a serpentine (new jade) cabochon and put it under a large antique brass hoop. I used a piece of oxidized brass filigree as backing to hold it in place. For accent beads I used a few smaller matching serpentine jade beads and some flat oval beads made of frosted […]
Capri Copper Wire Jewelry Set
Copper wire is curled into s-links, figures of eight and jump rings to make the chain, with the art-deco style pendant pieces. Fire-gold swarovski crystals set off by deep red ones. The result is Italianate, and surprisingly delicate.
Venture Necklace
This necklace consists of bronze metal chain with round filigree coins, metal beads, opaque Swarovski bicones and Czech faceted beads.
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 […]
Sun Goddess Necklace
I wove a freshwater pearl with golden seed beads to create a rose feature. I used strong fireline to weave the seed beads around the freshwater pearl. I made a circle with the seed beads and then wove the pearl on, then working in rounds I added the petals. Around the rose sit clusters of […]
Greenpeace Set
The necklace and earring set is made with handmade fimo (polymer clay) beads, Polaris beads, and bronze metal chain.
Purple Passions Necklace
I love creating interesting chains. I bought this lovely pendant on a sale scratch-patch. The fine chain links and glass beads I added myself. I made several short double strand pieces with bronze chain-pieces, purple glass beads and bronze caps and connected them with bronze links end large jumprings. At the back I finished it […]
Spirit Yeah I Have It
I bought this antique key from an antique seller last summer. I finally got the nerve to use it. I attached some dangles of wire-wrapped beads and a SPIRIT charm from Earthenwood Studios, to the handle. The chain is made up of Green jade rectangular tube beads, that are each wire looped to each other […]
Nesting Bird Necklace
I created this necklace using Vintaj Brass Co. chain. In a few spots around the chain, I attached wire-wrapped red Czech glass beads for accents. The focal I used is a pewter bird bead from Mamacita Beadworks. I used an eye pin, and off the bottom hook, dangled a brass wire nest that I stuffed […]
Tourmaline Goddess Cluster Necklace
This necklace is made of rainbow tourmaline, sterling silver headpins, and sterling silver chain. Each tourmaline bead is strung on a headpin and hung from a link in the chain to form a “y” shaped cascade. I spent a long time collecting the gems for this necklace. The design came to me one day while […]
My Little Angel Necklace
I created this necklace when a dear friend of mine lost her little boy to SIDS. I used 17″ of silver chain. I strung together pewter letter beads, with the initials of her son, using 20 gauge silver wire. I linked it onto the chain. To create the angel, I used a 3 inch head […]
Asymmetrical Leather Necklace
This piece is made with navy blue goat leather (roll and circles) golden wood, resin and chain. I tried to make something very modern and different and the result was amazing. I loved it. I showed it in a Art Fair and it was a success. I sold it as the first place. The colour […]

Antiqued gold cable chain and textured rings, amazonite faceted nuggets, bronze potato pearls and aged brass wire are wirewrapped together to form this necklace.
